- tex-mode.el uses the "tex-" and "latex-" prefix for all its functions
  and variables.

- AUCTeX uses the "TeX-" and "LaTeX-" (and a few more) prefixes for all its
  functions and variables.

I think the above is a good reason why "TeX-mode" and "LaTeX-mode" belong to
AUCTeX rather than to tex-mode.el.

So I think it's wrong for tex-mode.el to define
(defalias 'TeX-mode 'tex-mode) unless it explicitly intends to override the
AUCTeX definition.
