I don't think that would work...  We add the aliases and stuff so that
people's code will continue to work.  If somebody has out-of-tree code
that says

(require 'foo)
(foo-name)

that continues to work even if we've obsoleted foo-name.  Moving it to a
separate file would defeat the purpose of that...
