Hi.

I'm changing the official modules to use the new ParseModuleArgs
function, and I have a question regarding the module Alias argument.
Is it in fact a protocol standard or is it something some modules use?

I say that because some modules do use the argv[6] as an alias, but
others get the name by other means from the args. Like FvwmButtons,
which assumes the first "unmarked" argument as an alias. This is not
necessarilly argv[6].

So the question is, do we want a real protocol extension for this or
just a "common" thing. It makes no sense to use ParseModuleArgs unless
it does simplify the module. I can change FvwmButtons to use argv[6]
as an alias right now. But there would need to be an updating of the
manual, and maybe lots of people would need to change their configs..

Cheers,
