(This bug is about showing obsolete aliases for commands in the list of
completion candidates.)

I dropped the ball here a little bit, but I note that Stefan Monnier did
not like the new behavior, and in hindsight (and with more experience
using this feature) I think he is correct.
I also note that the new behavior fails in cases like:
query-replace-regexp-eval (use the `\,' feature of `query-replace-regexp'
for interactive calls, and `search-forward-regexp'/`replace-match'
for Lisp calls.)
IOW, even though I was the one who suggested and implemented this
feature, I now think that it was a mistake. I would therefore suggest
reverting commit 06d86b954d2 to go back to the previous, Emacs 27
behavior.
Any objections?
