Surely since Translate doesn't support it, the fact that none of the 
extensions that Translate does support use it, is something of a non 
sequitur?!?  :-p  There are 552 .alias.php files in /trunk/extensions, and 
1786 .i18n.php files.  Obviously it's hard to put a number on how many of 
the difference are just extensions without any SpecialPages, but I'd venture 
that the combined syntax is quite common.
