 So far, nothing was planned to have more complete alias. I would 
 personnaly be against
 as :
 - it requires more work
 - we cannot garantee uniqueness of anything so far ( ie, what if there 
 is 2
 colin guthrie in the database )
 - it doesn't seems to be a big problem given the fact that most free 
 software
 project work like this.
