Yes it's definatly argueable, but I think in most cases once you decide
that your alias is on the attend list you also want aliases. E.g i use
bm as an abbrev for bookmarks and have some shortcuts for log, so it's a
bit annoying to have an increasing attend list.

In case we decide against allowing aliases I'll followup with a patch
that at least takes fixed aliases such as history|log into account. In
that case I think it's clear, if you attend log you also want hg history
to page.
