Good advice, but oh, the breakage! How on earth did it ever get determined
that this was the proper solution? I believe that this change came quite
late in the beta period and was not thoroughly discussed. I fully
understand the problem that's being solved by it, but there had to be a
better way to do it that silently breaking many aliases. If it was Chan's
intention to force everyone to change their aliases, a statement of that
fact should have been added to the top of most of the documentation files
and in a separate README.incompatibilities file, or something. Anything is
better than the current situation,where the change isn't prominently
mentioned (if at all).
