   I don't think that justifies breaking existing configs (which I assume
   it does).

Yes it is likely to break configs after this patch has been applied. The m;ore confusing part in the current config variables is the *aliases* (plural) of the _aliasesfile_ variable. Actually, I am pretty sure, many people did not notice this plural form at first, so did I :)

Anyway, this is just a proposition of changes. Feel free not to apply it at all.

Regards
	Xavier
