Name collision. Names should be self-documenting, unique, and easily
distinguished. Aliases can be used to shorten long commands for console
typing, or one can use some kind of GUI front-end (maybe web-based) to type
the long commands.

(BTW, where does one learn about aliases? Today is the first I've heard of
them.)
