It used to be that if you didn't set the variable, then we just
wouldn't create any alias sets. Now that the bulk of the processing
has moved to alias.c, suddenly all languages get alias sets whether
they want them or not.
This could be fatal for any language that has unions or variant
records or suchlike and does not take care to handle them specially.
A checkin that I've been testing for a while and will be committing as
soon as I get some network bandwith will go back to making things safe.
So this change is not needed.
