New description:

 - Make all aliases created automatically to system command (%rehashx)
 lowercase, when there is no immediate collision

 - Remove the "number of positional arguments" from alias structure, it's
 redundant and wastes space

 - Make "trivial" aliases (cp -> cp) smaller (point to None?)

 - Move macros out of result printer, they belong to same phase as alias
 and magic translations (this allows stuff like arguments to macros!)
