\MakeShortVerb (also available via shortvrb.sty) = merely creates a
shortcut for \verb.  that shortcut has more or = less the same
properties as \verb itself, as far as arguments of = other commands go.

> Is this more or less equivalent to = \usepackage{alltt} ?

no.  alltt defines a not-quite verbatim = environment.  since it's a
(triv)list environment, it's a rather poor substitute = for \verb
