My preference would be to remove "set processor" as I find aliases (which
aren't just abbreviations) more to remember. The command "info target" tells
you about the target, while the command "info files" tells you about... er, the
target.
Sometimes they also provide anomalies, e.g, "bt", "where" and "info stack" are
all the same -- except that hookpost-backtrace doesn't work with last alias.
