I forgot to add, any ID remapping could happen in the common module, if
it requires it. Type A and type B sources could have indexes 0...3 and
the common module could derive its configuration from the source ID *and*
the source type. The idea behind aliases was to identify each instance,
rather than providing an exact configuration data that the common module
could use.
