Likewise here.

The alias already exists, and I don’t intend to remove it.

However, since we’re recommending \language over \include, and
"español" over "espanol", I’ve written a convert-ly for existing files
(even though the old, non-recommended syntax will still be supported,
at least for the time being).

Like most diacritics, in France it involves first typing AltGr+é for
the tilda, then adding the "n" separately.
