Aliases for operations and functions

I originally posted this as a question to General, but am restating it here as a feature request.

I would like a simple method for creating aliases for operations and functions.

For example, instead of:

appendtograph y2 vs x2

I would like to be able to do:

a2g y2 vs x2

Or, perhaps:

a2t instead of appendtotable</copy> or: <code>mkdir or md instead of newdatafolder

There are workarounds using functions and macros, but that requires options and arguments to be parsed and handled on a command by command basis.

Thanks for your consideration!
