I'm sure that you'll now get used to "i" in no time, now
that you know it.

This revealed an interesting issue.  The

 'Ambiguous command "inf reg": inferior, info.'

... message doesn't indicate the aliases of each alternative
command.  Neither does "help info" mention "i".  Maybe it should.

(btw, "i" + "inf" would leave "in" in a weird spot)
