I think it's very possible that the wrong alias may be provided by the
user, and that we should consider that when providing a hint. Besides,
considering every visible RTE (while penalizing non-exact alias names
iff the user provided an alias name) is actually going to make bad
hints less likely, by increasing the number of equidistant low quality
matches in a way that swamps the mechanism into providing no actual
match at all. That's an important additional protection against low
quality matches.
What do other people think here?
