Oh, I forgot to mention: in the third patch, I changed how many 
arguments are passed to functions in `eshell-variable-aliases-list'. I 
tried to add a backwards-compatible fallback for the old way in 
`eshell-get-variable'. Maybe there's a better way to do this than what I 
came up with, though...
