Perhaps as with the new elpa (without copyleft). There could be a couple of
defaults {stable, and experimental (with no backard compatibility to
previous versions)}.


    Ergus> Please give me some more details to reproduce. These two are working 
fine for me.

1. Y on dired-mode does not work. {Y runs the command
dired-do-relsymlink}. I could not write the name of the symlink.
2. I could not use my aliases {I have a bunch of them}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

About number One. it is simple. Just open the elpa directory and do Y on
any folder. Or if You try with my snippet below then M-x dired-do-relsymlink
You could pick 'which-key-XXXXXXXX.YYYY' and create a symlink to just
the shorter 'which-key'.

On my case when I write which-key it completes to something and does not
let me tell just 'which-key'. Let me know If You can replicate it.

About number two:
I have retried it a few seconds ago. And it is working fine. Sorry for
the noise.

I am testing fido this way:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
emacs -Q -l /tmp/test-fido.el
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This is the content of test-fido.el
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(when (fboundp 'fido-mode)
                       (fido-mode t)
                         (setq icomplete-separator "\n"
                                     max-mini-window-height 10
                                     resize-mini-windows 'grow-only
                                     truncate-lines t)

                         )

(defalias 'cc 'compile)
(defalias 'rc 'recompile)
