title: Is there an easier way to give a function an alias name in C#
body: <p><strong>BACKGROUND:</strong> In the API I am porting, there are a large number of functions prefixed with sqlite3_.  They are encapsulated in a class named Sqlite3, so the function call is Sqlite3.sqlite3_...</p>
  
  <p>I've created a number of alias calls, similar to the following, </p>
  
  <pre><code>//C# alias for call    
  public static void result_error_toobig(sqlite3_context pCtx)
  { sqlite3_result_error_toobig(pCtx); }
  
  //Native call   
  public static void sqlite3_result_error_toobig(sqlite3_context pCtx)
  {
    Debug.Assert(sqlite3_mutex_held(pCtx.s.db.mutex));
    pCtx.isError = SQLITE_ERROR;
    setResultStrOrError(pCtx, "string or blob too big", -1,
    SQLITE_UTF8, SQLITE_STATIC);
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This allows me to write code, like Sqlite3.result_error_toobig(pCtx);</p>
  
  <p><strong>QUESTION:</strong>  </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Will the compiler optimize the call, so the overhead is minimal?  </li>
  <li>Is there an easier way to create this type of alias?</li>
  </ul>
