You are welcome to work and propose a patch (pull request), definitely it will be considered and merged if doesn't break other things -- I think this extra option is useful.

As an alternative to the idea of having a parameter before the listen like with the workers, could be specified inline like the alias, eg:

listen=proto:addr:port alias addrx:portx mcast xyz

Anyhow, whatever you prefer, it's fine.

Eventually, in the future (if nobody wants to do it right now) we can consider adding another structure-like to group the attributes for a socket and make it more clear where they are applied (so the order doesn't matter that much anymore), something like:

socket {
   listen=proto:addr:port alias addrx:portx
   workers=4
   mcast=xyz
}
