alias eye_trail -> light_trail

BUR #7294 has been rejected.

create alias eye_trail -> light_trail

Utility alias. We also have flaming eye btw, which has a massive overlap with this tag. I'm not even sure why we lump eye trails together with generic light trails given how common of a trope it is.

I wasn't aware of the existence of the light trail tag (see forum #188475), so I created glowing streaks some time ago after when I came across enough examples.

Just slapped on an extra light trail tag on all those posts. Should glowing streaks be nuked now?

I was not aware of this tag either.

I don't know that I've ever tagged this before, but I agree that this is a unique concept and might deserve it's own tag so it might be more easily separated. If so though, an alias might be contra-productive. Maybe an implication and some tag gardening instead?

The bulk update request #7294 (forum #197136) has been rejected by @nonamethanks.

I agree, I added a small amount of post to get it started and wrote a definition (eye trail), I'll go through light trail and tag it where it fits in the next few days.

I think an implication would have been better. Light trail can be used for many things (weapon attacks, projectile trajectories), while eye trail is very specific.
