https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html#argparse.ArgumentParser.add_subparsers

shows how to use `set_defaults` in a parser to set a 'func' attribute.  That 
method could just as well be used to set the true 'name' or any other kind of 
attribute that is unique to that parser.  

I think we should leave the code as is, storing the aliases in the subparsers' 
'dest'.  It's been that way since aliases were added, and changing it runs the 
risk of creating backward compatibility issues.  

There are enough work arounds if you don't want the aliases.
