I was thinking about a way to get this without adding another option to BBDB. We could follow the mailrc and do a search for records whenever we find a net without a "@". That way it no one needs to set jet another option and defining of hierarchical aliases is pretty simple. There is just one draw back, i.e. it might break things for those that have net entries without a "@" and records with that net as alias. What do you think about implementing it like this?
