There's no need to wait for a 3.0 to introduce this. If these would
be low-priority compared to user-defined aliases, there's no backward
compatibility issue, it can very well be a 2.1, or whatever number comes
after 2.0.
This is actually the perfect time to do it.
Junio has just tagged a -rc for 2.0, so it's clearly too late to start
discussing new features for this particular release.

Can it? I would like Junio to say so.

Still, v2.0 is a better time for this.

And whose fault is that? I never saw any warning about the -rc tag, and I never
saw any discussion about possible features missing in v2.0.

Given that the next backward-incompatible release might be in a decade, I would
have expected people to have put more thought into v2.0, but I guess the Git
project is not really interested in progressive features.
