You know, I had completely forgotten those were there.  I wish I'd
realized before.

The reason it's a problem now is that you didn't add "delete
checkpoint", but instead "delete-checkpoint".  If we switch it the
problem will go away.

There's a similar problem with detach, by the way.  I used to type
"det" and now that doesn't work.  Aliases or rename?
