mount.ecryptfs_private ALIAS feature. Adding additional ecryptfstorage

Situation:
I have my $home on a hard drive which is full, bought a new one and about to use it.
Gparted did it's thing and what I'd like to do is mounting this new drive (/dev/sdb1) as $home/newdrive.

Factors:
My $home is encrypted with ecryptfs lovely automagic stuff. I.e ecryptfs mounts on login password.

Solutions:
A bit of searching and found this, involving a bit of scripting. Indeed it suites my demands, however two years down the road there got to be some less.. blunt solution.

I found the related ssd question in the link above, which answer suggest using mount.ecryptfs_private's alias feature. However, Dustin Kirkland usually have great writeups on the subject, but as of yet there seems to be no entry on the alias feature.

Questions:

1. Does the alias feature support filename encryption?

2. It says to use a fstab-style format, but.. could someone give me an working .ecryptfs/ALIAS.conf example?
