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?
