Hey Hector.

(AFIACS, you're also the upstream of mssh and it has no upstream bug tracker 
for feature requests).


Right now, mssh has this command line syntax:
> mssh [OPTION]... (-a ALIAS | HOSTS)

I'd guess the main use case for it is however to use aliases, because who 
really enters all the hosts always again and again.

When one uses mssh really a lot, having to add that -a is actually annoying ;-)
So it would be nice if there was a new syntax:
> mssh [OPTION]... (-a ALIAS | -h HOSTS)
and a configuration option that specified what happens if neither -a nor -h is 
used, i.e. whether it's then an alias or a hostname.

Another way, without config option could be to have this:
> mssh [OPTION]... NAMEs
and let it simply try as aliases first and only if none of that name is found, 
hostnames of these names should be tried.


Cheers,
Chris.
