I agree that we should try to be consistent.

Right.  But I'm not suggesting to alias all of them.  I suggest to
make an alias only for one common command.  There already exists
several such convenience aliases in Emacs.

I guess one could argue that it's a slippery slope, and I think there
is some merit to that.  In my opinion, the solution is to be selective
about where to add such aliases.

Thanks for that.
