I agree with gabriel here. If the goal was to make pairing easier, then this defeats the purpose since we're going to end up overriding stuff and defining our own commands.

I'm all in for reaching a common core for everyone. I would think it's more useful to setup servers (so we have a familiar shell setup instead of the current default one) but not so much for pairing.
And I also prefer not to make server-side shells easier to use. We should use them as least as possible, so 1-character alias also goes against that
