I can do this and it sounds like the right thing to do. HOWEVER, there are a number of these inconsistencies inside the configuration language. They were introduced because the language evolved rather than being designed for that purpose. So the naming conventions also evolved. So I am not sure if we should actually duplicate all of these inconsistent statements. That's a lot of functional duplicates (especially given the fact that I still hope to be able to revamp the config language some time during this year). Thoughts are appreciated.
