I don't much like this option because of the inability to handle
conflicts. I'd much rather make M-x a bit more permissive such that M-x
mail-encrypt falls back to epa-mail-encrypt (probably via completion).
An aliasing method like this could be a good method
if it is limited to certain names for which we want it.
It loop in command list and does (string-match pattern "command_name").
This allow to do:
M-x encrypt
which will match all commands _containing_ "encrypt"
I do not want such eager completion. Natural abbreviations
that we specific want to encourage, such as
`encryot-file' for `epa-encrypt-file', should not depend
on a general mechanism that tries to abbreviate everything.
