Nope, you're no the only one. I have plans to change that, just no time
to do it atm. I'll probably have more time in two weeks when I'll be
done with my teaching-related tasks.

In the meanwhile, I can rapidly create aliases for what you suggest, but
please make me a list of the conflicts if you want the alias list to be
complete.

Very funny indeed. Probably taken directly from texdoctk.dat without
noticing.

I don't agree with that, but I won't discuss this today, no time.
