I did envision that it would be useful for the last case, but then
the users would be helped even more if they can get a list of ONLY
aliases, not buried in many standard commands they already know
about.

In other words, I was not fundamentally opposed to *a* way to get a
list that includes aliases, but I was not convinced if it is a good
idea to *change* the output, which people knew would consist of
commands but not aliases, to suddenly start including aliases.
