  I am hesitant about this. Note that the method is called `editAliases`. It is 
1) in the plural and 2) it //edits// them (i.e., replaces them, it does not 
just //add// them).
  So it is probably useful for maintaining (tidying) data, but not importing 
data when you just want to add some data, without replacing existing data. (I 
believe this is the intention behind this, or at least replacing existing 
aliases with a new single one is not the intention.)
  
  We could introduce a new method like `addAliases` or so which would just let 
you add them. This method could also support providing a single string.
