If we use Jeff's proposed alias.*.{keyname} approach with literal byte
matching macOS should already handle the normalization at the argv level 
before Git even sees it, correct? I'm not very familiar with how macOS 
handles this.

I may have phrased it poorly, but the above (with Peff's syntax
change, which I think is independently a good thing to do) is
exactly what I meant.  That way, we do not have to worry about
normalization ourselves at all in this area.

Thanks.
