I just deleted the doc string.  A more elaborate possibility would
have been

(condition-case nil
    (defvaralias '... '... "...")
  (wrong-number-of-arguments
    (defvaralias '... '...)))

but I was not in the mood to do something as complicated as that.
Feel free to override my choice, if you feel offended.
