Shorthands have landed on master (Was: Better way to require with shorthands/renamed symbols)

[João Távora]

Hello all.

Anyway, as you may have noticed, "Shorthands" have landed on master.
Please check out the NEWS entry and the manual section on "Shorthands".

For the impatient, I leave with with a tiny animated gif.

Unfortunately, that comes with many other implications that you may or
may not be seeing.  I've replied to Stefan in detail.  Anyway, I hope
people can briefly try out the feature as it is now, and report any
bugs, slightly delaying their "much nicer" suggestion (which are more
than expected and very welcome).
