IMO, it's best to have exactly one command that performs any given task in the tla distribution. If you don't like the name of that command, you can alias it locally.I thought the command aliases were all old names that are being maintainedfor a while to avoid breaking scripts. Am I wrong?
I don't know...I've got a few unattended arch installs that run stuff out of cron jobs, etc... I think that if I upgraded arch on these systems, I'd want to test my scripts and fix whatever broke. With this feature, that would mean either adding the command as a macro, or having my script use the appropriate command.
Personally, for my completion, I filter out any aliases. I've used commands in the past that ``disappeared'' as far as I'm concerned, and it's not that big of a deal to me. I expect things to move around as stuff stabilizes. I expect there to be more changes before everyone figures out everything that tla should do.
