The default that the user sees should be what's in the buffer.
Otherwise it will be mysterious. The conversion of aliases
to their real names should happen only on the user's input.
If you just leave this function unchanged and install the rest,
it should work. However, it would be good to make one additional
change: the same commands should display a message of the form
`%s' is an alias for `%s'
in the echo area.
