- Subject: [RFA] Add 'rev' as abbreviation for 'reverse-search'
Bug 10688 points out that 'rev' is documented as an abbreviation for
'reverse-search', yet it no longer works because it is ambiguous with
the new reverse-execution commands (reverse-continue etc.).
This patch adds 'rev' as a command alias for 'reverse-search'.
