No. Actually the two options use the same code and were implemented
at the same time. Granted, the example *does* compress the stored
URLs some, but this is a nice side-effect. :-)
In fact, you could probably look at common_url_parts as a
less-flexible form of url_part_aliases. It picks the tokens stored in
the database for you (though it does it very intelligently) and
doesn't really let you rename parts since they should go back to the
same strings on "decompression."
