Well, don't forget you can always do

export arch="address@hidden"
export parth="address@hidden"

tla missing $arch
tla star-merge $arch

tla missing $parth
...


You shell handles aliases quite well.
However, they can start to cause collisions, and it is a reasonable 
thing. It is being worked on. Tom has some pretty grand plans. Something 
about hats where your aliases try to make sense depending on what 
project you are in, etc.

Both of that being said, aba & fai both have aliases. And if you setup 
tla-bash-complete a lot of the typing is taken care of.
Also you might want to look into "aba merge"
You create a list of "friends" in the file {arch}/=partner-versions
And then "aba merge" will do a star-merge with each one until something 
changes. Then it will stop, pop up the changelog, and basically be ready 
for committing.
