   I ran a quick compare on the difference on the aliases:

   It seems multiple aliases have been removed. Perhaps this list could be reviewed and the relevant ones could be added back.

   Keep in mind that all of the *nix oriented alias have been removed in order to not conflict with the corresponding native utility. Ditto for the sort alias. IWR must have been an oversight??

   Yeah this means that all of us shell-first cross-platform people (like me)
   need to be careful about unintended effects. And of course, never ever use
   aliases in your scripts. That was important before, but now it's even more
   so.

   Some of the missing aliases are very obvious when you think about it. If
   one trips you up, I recommend a quick which [CMD], and you'll probably
   find there's a match in /bin or similar.
