On a related note, I find the arguments for defvaralias and defalias more
confusing than those for define-obsolete-*-alias.
defalias seems clear to me, but defvaralias is unclear. For
defvaralias, I suggest the names NEW-ALIAS and BASE-VARIABLE.
If using similar names in defalias would make it clearer to some people,
we could change that too--it costs little to change this.
