  @defmac define-obsolete-variable-alias variable new &optional when docstring
  This macro marks the variable @var{variable} as obsolete and also
! makes it an alias for the variable @var{new}.
  
! If provided, @var{when} should be a string indicating when
! @var{variable} was first made obsolete.  The optional argument
! @var{docstring} specifies the documentation string for @var{variable}.
! If @var{docstring} is omitted or nil, @var{variable} uses the
! documentation string of @var{new} unless it already has one of its
! own.

  @defmac define-obsolete-variable-alias variable new &optional when docstring
  This macro marks the variable @var{variable} as obsolete and also
! makes it an alias for the variable @var{new}.  A typical call has the form:
  
! @example
! (define-obsolete-variable-alias 'old-var 'new-var "22.1" "Doc.")
! @end example
! 
! @noindent
! which is equivalent to the following two lines of code:
! 
! @example
! (defvaralias 'oldvar 'newvar "Doc.")
! (make-obsolete-variable 'old-var 'new-var "22.1")
! @end example
  @end defmac
  
  @defun indirect-variable variable
