This issue has been discussed in the past in this maillist as well as in the emacs-devel: https://orgmode.org/list/87zhfntkwm....@gmail.com/ https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2020-01/msg00011.html I think making the alias you proposed was in Bastein's todo-list, according to that earlier discussion. I guess, there should be no issue accepting relevant patches here (not sure about emacs-devel) if you provide them.
