The currently proposed syntax for aliases is 'pmu/alias,more-terms/'
right?

Should we also allow something like 'pmu/event=alias,more-terms/' ? Or
possibly even do only that?

The reason is that that would be much easier for the external events
Stephane wants with that JSON file. I think the sysfs alias and external
JSON alias should be the same mechanism and syntax.
