24.0.92; Please remove unnecessary alias `which-func-mode` |

Why was this alias defined? Is there a good reason for it? This is a
bad precedent to set. Unless there is a _particular_ reason to do this
for this command (and not for umpteen other Emacs commands), please
remove this seemingly gratuitous alias.

* which-func.el (which-func-maxout): Increase default to 500000.
(which-function-mode): This is now the "real" name of the function.
(which-func-mode): Now an alias.
(which-func-mode-global): Name deleted.
So the function was called which-func-mode, then renamed to
which-function-mode, and the old name kept for compatibility.
It took me all of a grep in lisp\ChangeLog* to find it ;-)
