     * breakpoint.c (_initialize_breakpoint): Add "del" as an alias
     of the "delete" command.


Does anyone think we should make "dele" and "delet" work again too?

Guys, this seems awkward and ad hoc (I realize it's my fault...)


What if we make "delete" a command prefix (like "maint"),
and then just branch from what follows it (eg. breakpoint,
tracepoint, fork, checkpoint, display), with the default to be
breakpoint.

I'm not quite sure why this is broken only now...
it used to work when "delete tracepoint" and
"delete display" were possibilities.


You know, I had completely forgotten those were there.  I wish I'd
realized before.

The reason it's a problem now is that you didn't add "delete
checkpoint", but instead "delete-checkpoint".  If we switch it the
problem will go away.

There's a similar problem with detach, by the way.  I used to type
"det" and now that doesn't work.  Aliases or rename?

Rename. It's early enough, I don't think many people are using checkpoints yet.

I think I caused the very problem I was thinking to avoid,
by using that hyphen.   ;-(
