I have several indexes, and I want them all to share the meta names path, 
title, author, group, abstract, and body. So I would like to have one 
common index configuration file that defines this as 

MetaNames path title author group abstract body

This means I could use these meta names throughout my indexes if I include 
this main index file.

However, I really want to use path as an alias for swishdocpath rather 
than as a separate metaname, so I would like to define 

MetaNameAlias path swishdocpath

which unfortunately does not work as expected.

At the moment, I define

MetaNames swishdocpath swishtitle author group abstract body
MetaNameAlias swishdocpath path
MetaNameAlias swishtitle title

which gives the desired result. However, this means when I define my 
MetaNameRanks, I have to use swishdocpath to assign the rank as it's the 
real metaname. I can not use my alias path to do this, which I would like 
to do.

So my real question is this: Obviously MetaNameAlias only works one way, 
and not the other. Is this a feature or is there room for improvement? Is 
there any other method to achieve what I would like to do?

Thanks, Jonas.
