So far, nothing was planned to have more complete alias. I would
personnaly be against
as :
- it requires more work
- we cannot garantee uniqueness of anything so far ( ie, what if there
is 2
colin guthrie in the database )
- it doesn't seems to be a big problem given the fact that most free
software
project work like this.
