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.
