Can you alias a datatype?

I would like to create my own datatypes as an alias of standard types,
along the lines of:



short_name as an alias for varchar2(15)



And then use short_name as a datatype.



Is this possible in Oracle (as it is in Sybase), or does it require
complex use of object types?
