I agree that we should try to be consistent.

Right. But I'm not suggesting to alias all of them. I suggest to
make an alias only for one common command. There already exists
several such convenience aliases in Emacs.
I guess one could argue that it's a slippery slope, and I think there
is some merit to that. In my opinion, the solution is to be selective
about where to add such aliases.
