The issue is less clean semantics, recursion safety, possibly surprising
behaviour when the RHS of an aliases(5) alias also has a virtual(5)
entry, ... Also performance cost since you take a trip through the
local delivery agent for address that could just be delivered directly.
Bottom line both robustness and performance.

Enthusiasm is great, but it is best to try to answer only those
questions for which you know the answer. :-(
