I haven't been able to follow the list lately, so I am not really sure of
what Alex has been up to. But the comment above caught my attention for a
second.
I have 405 aliases in my list. It is way too much, of course. I took a
gander at my list one of these days and realized that I never use many of
them, simply because I forget completely that they are there. Summing up:
inherent limitations of the human species prevent this "alias" concept from
being used with too many of them.
At any rate, notwithstanding these staggering 405 aliases, way more than
the average homo geekis is encouraged to maintain, my alias list file is a
mere 20 Kb in size. I don't think it takes any more memory than that, thus
requiring just under a third of the amount of memory that Bill Gates
recommends "to anyone".
Finally, the crucial question: what do computers have memory for anyway?
