I'm sure that you'll now get used to "i" in no time, now
that you know it.
This revealed an interesting issue. The
'Ambiguous command "inf reg": inferior, info.'
... message doesn't indicate the aliases of each alternative
command. Neither does "help info" mention "i". Maybe it should.
(btw, "i" + "inf" would leave "in" in a weird spot)
