String values haven't been used in the aliases so far, and I think for a
reason: with all the unpredictable weird characters and string lengths
they would make maintainance harder, not easier.

I used dashes for the only reason of these aliases being static.  If
they are supposed to grow it may make sense to stick to the convention
used everywhere else, i.e. bus:devspec.

Is it certain that it can live together with s[dtr]?  I thought these
guys now handled all the ioctls sg was supposed to themselves...
