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
