I have no strong opinion either, but using a defalias seems to me the
better choice. Maybe I'm biased due to the work on Tramp, where a large
part of the job is keeping backward compatibility with older
Emacsen. That's why I have a preference to defalias, whenever
possible. It needs less maintainership attention.

But it is your decision, of course.

Best regards, Michael.
