I think it's very possible that the wrong alias may be provided by the user, and that we should consider that when providing a hint. Besides, considering every visible RTE (while penalizing non-exact alias names iff the user provided an alias name) is actually going to make bad hints less likely, by increasing the number of equidistant low quality matches in a way that swamps the mechanism into providing no actual match at all. That's an important additional protection against low quality matches.
