Instead, confuse the hell out of users who don't religiously follow 
-dev/-user/-gwn, and suddenly get bit by the gtk flag losing it's 
meaning?

That said, it won't work anyways; the aliasing has to occur within the 
python side else it'll screw up the depgraph (realized that just a few 
seconds ago) :)

So... back to making a lot of noise, or some python side support for 
aliasing use flags.
