Alex,

I don't know how you plan to implement things, so some of my questions and
concerns might seem obvious.
 
>   *  Keeping the alias definitions within the main ARB script

I'm curious as to how you would achieve the "no longer requiring a refresh"
objective if you keep everything in one file. New items in this file would
still have to be parsed out wouldn't they?

I have well over 1000 aliases, and having a script file for each item (some
of them very simple, often one line) seems a bit clunky to me. 

If ARB is to have autocomplete, these files still have to be listed and
their names placed into a vector - which is much faster than the current
rebuild process, but a rebuild (of the alias vector) nonetheless. Perhaps
you will generate the autocomplete list anew whenever ARB is called?

How about history? These would still have to be stored and reloaded
separately right?

>  *  Storing ARB aliases as scripts with a prefixed name ...

Personally I'm not too bothered whether the files are prefixed, stored in a
specific folder or both/neither - whichever you find neater. I agree with
David's suggestion of a user-defined prefix/path.
