问题：
I want to create an alias for a class name.我想为类名创建别名。 The following syntax would be perfect:以下语法将是完美的：
public class LongClassNameOrOneThatContainsVersionsOrDomainSpecificName
{
...
}
public class MyName = LongClassNameOrOneThatContainsVersionOrDomainSpecificName;
but it won't compile.但它不会编译。
Example例子

Some existing code depends on the presence of a static class:一些现有代码取决于静态类的存在：
public static class ColorScheme
{
...
}
This color scheme is the Outlook 2003 color scheme.此配色方案是 Outlook 2003 配色方案。 i want to introduce an Outlook 2007 color scheme, while retaining the Outlook 2003 color scheme:我想介绍一个 Outlook 2007 配色方案，同时保留 Outlook 2003 配色方案：
public static class Outlook2003ColorScheme
{
...
}
public static class Outlook2007ColorScheme
{
...
}
But i'm still faced with the fact that the code depends on the presence of a static class called ColorScheme .但我仍然面临这样一个事实，即代码取决于一个名为ColorScheme的静态类的存在。 My first thought was to create a ColorScheme class that I will inherit from either Outlook2003 or Outlook2007 :我的第一个想法是创建一个ColorScheme类，我将从Outlook2003或Outlook2007继承：
public static class ColorScheme : Outlook2007ColorScheme
{
}
but you cannot inherit from a static class.但是不能从静态类继承。
My next thought was to create the static ColorScheme class, but make Outlook2003ColorScheme and Outlook2007ColorScheme classes non-static.我的下一个想法是创建静态ColorScheme类，但使Outlook2003ColorScheme和Outlook2007ColorScheme类非静态。 Then a static variable in the static ColorScheme class can point to either "true" color scheme:然后静态ColorScheme类中的静态变量可以指向任一“真”配色方案：
public static class ColorScheme
{
private static CustomColorScheme = new Outlook2007ColorScheme();
...
}
private class CustomColorScheme
{
...
}
private class Outlook2008ColorScheme : CustomColorScheme
{
...
}
private class Outlook2003ColorScheme : CustomColorScheme
{
...
}
but that would require me to convert a class composed entirly of readonly static Colors into overridable properties, and then my ColorScheme class would need to have the 30 different property getters thunk down into the contained object.但这需要我将一个完全由只读静态颜色组成的类转换为可覆盖的属性，然后我的ColorScheme类需要将 30 个不同的属性 getter 转换为包含的对象。
That's just too much typing.打字太多了。
So my next thought was to alias the class:所以我的下一个想法是给这个类取别名：
public static ColorScheme = Outlook2007ColorScheme;
But that doesn't compile.但这不能编译。
How can I alias a static class into another name?如何将静态类别名为另一个名称？
