    Try this patch, please. It doesn't modify `set-variable' but
    `user-variable-p', so it returns t for non-obsolete aliases of user
    variables.

Please install your patch.

    (Anyway, is that a new feature or a bug fix?)

It is a bug fix.

Would you like to change set-variable to give a warning
when the argument given is an alias?
