Tidy up the alias section

[Darcy Murphy]

This has got to be one of the dumbest blocks of code I've ever written.

// ALIASES

is.required = is.present

is.eq     = is.equal
is.gt     = is.greaterThan
is.gte    = is.greaterThanOrEqualTo
is.lt     = is.lessThan
is.lte    = is.lessThanOrEqualTo

is.fn     = is.func
is.bool   = is.boolean

is.obj    = is.object
is.arr    = is.array
is.rx     = is.regex

is.str    = is.string
is.emtStr = is.emptyString

is.numstr = is.numberString
is.intstr = is.integerString
is.num    = is.number
is.int    = is.integer
is.hex    = is.hexadecimal
is.hexStr = is.hexstr = is.hexadecimalString

is.past   = is.pastDate
is.future = is.futureDate

I'm thinking something like…

var is = { VERSION: '2.0.0' }

is.fn = is.func = function(x) {
  // ... do stuff
}

But that seems equally verbose and dumb. Maybe something more declarative…

var methodAliases = {
  'func': ['fn'],
  'required': ['present']
}

// pseudocode
for (method in methodAliases) {
  methodAliases[method].forEach(function(alias){
    is[alias] = is[method]
  })
}

Or I could just ditch the alias concept altogether.
