I'm not alone, either. I have talked about this with my collegue in PUPA, and
he agreed with me.
I'd like to know why it is a bad phylosophy. In many systems, aliases are
often provided for convenience. Look at test and [. Look at true and :. Short
cuts are also a kind of aliases. I don't see anything wrong with this. "There
should be only one way to do a thing" is Python's phylosophy, but Perl
developers wouldn't agree with you.
Of course, "I like it" is not a good reason. But menuentry is too long to
type. This is good enough for me.
