Those aren't, unfortunately. I think they're of somewhat questionable
utility, though.
I'd be good with either listing the aliases manually and combining that
with the file names or just having the file names available. I suspect
most people will use the file names anyway, and I wonder from time to time
if we should just drop the aliases, although that means breaking backward
compatibility. If you list the aliases, I'll try to remember to update
them, but I think missing some will be less important than missing a whole
class of checks if I forget.
