No, but it is a trivial fix which I expect won't catch on very quickly 
if you send it upstream. A better one would be to add a html "title" 
element to the host so that it displays the alias when you hover your 
mouse over the link. This way you could also have some hope of getting a 
patch accepted if you send it upstream.
