Except I'm missing something, we don't use the alias_node at any time.
The node itself has already a refcount which gives us the guarantee it
is valid.

I agree it can appear a bit strange to put the node right after getting
it but in our case the alias_node is used as an ID, not a pointer, so it
is fine.
