An alias doesn't make much sense because `TeX-run-function' does
something completely different.  If you are concerned about people who
customized `TeX-command-list' and therefore have a
`TeX-run-ispell-on-document' entry, we'd have to keep the whole
function definition.  Hmmm, I guess users with customized
`TeX-command-list' variables will probably prefer to miss
functionality in contrast to getting an error, so I'll put the
definition back in.

Because it's pumped through `TeX-command-expand'.  By using a string
we don't have to check for the variable's type in `TeX-command'.  And
because that way we don't have to insert a choice in the defcustom for
`TeX-command-list'.
