It looks like these things have been fixed in the years since -- except
that it looks like it's had a doc string since at least 2005, and the
prompt has mentioned "cancel" since that time, too?

But the alias hasn't been added -- Stefan OK'd it, though, so I've now
added it in Emacs 27, and I'm closing this bug report.
