 At least give a reason for wanting this...
 
 Fwiw, I am against adding more aliases/synonyms to core.
 They increases human overhead to learn, and machine overhead to
 store/cache.
 
 New aliases will also confuse users on old versions who may browse
 the web and find the new documentation.
 
 On a side note, perhaps we should start adding a line like:
 "This was added in Ruby X.Y.Z" in our RDoc for new features.
 This is common in manpages, AFAICS.
