We at Apple reserved ".alias" as an extension for aliases, although

FSIsAliasFile() will attempt to read alias data from such files even
if they don't have the isAlias bit set in Finder info.
Ha, good one, you almost had me there. If Apple had reserved the
.alias extension for alias files (as much as Apple can reserve a file
extension) then it would be there as a file extension for
kUTTypeAliasFile in the UTI APIs.
