	Wow, I think I had described a very similar feature in the past, but 
have been too lazy to implement it (and have been hoping other stuff 
I've done would get accepted).

	I would hope that all of the existing alias commands could be 
implemented using this type of structure so there wouldn't be a need 
for aliased commands in tla proper.

	Also, if ``tla help'' could list these macros, then it would also 
automatically provide those commands in my tcsh completion.  :)
