Tons of core code will have to be modified to take
into account two
possible types of redirects. That's aside from the fact that again, I
see no reason at all to make two separate systems to handle what
amounts to the same problem.
I think that the only reasonable would be to have one *technical*
implementation (the existing one) of the individual redirects themselves.
That is, the existing redirect links table, including the
corresponding page/revision/text-article is good enough.
One of the main points with the Aliases/Synonyms idea is how these
redirects are created/maintained (on Edit-Save), and from this
perspective (the user's POV) it is not exactly the same problem.
But it really should be avoided to introduce several implementations
of the lower level (technical) concept of the redirects themselves.
But it probably wouldn't be needed, not even for a very sofisticated
Alias/Synonym solution (as seen from the user's perspective).
