The problem is that if we have the command `scripting` and the alias `script` and we see `sc` we need to resolve that command ambiguity.  The only tool we have for ambiguous command resolution at present is "exact matches always win".

If we wanted to solve this w/o making all the exact matches we intend to win, we could add a ranking system to the commands and aliases, which bias ambiguous matches in favor of one or the other of the commands, or some similar system.  I worry that would get messy pretty quickly, but anyway, you'd need something like that.
