  url_part_aliases
     ...
     description:
          A list of translations pairs from and to, used when
          accessing the database.
      ...
          This is primarily used to provide an easy way to
          rename parts of URLs for e.g. changing
          www.example.com/~htdig to www.htdig.org. Two
          different configuration files for digging and searching
          are then used, with url_part_aliases having different
          from strings, but identical to-strings.
          See also common_url_parts.
      ...
     example:
           url_part_aliases:
                       http://search.example.com/~htdig *site \
                       http://www.htdig.org/this/ *1 \
                       .html *2
           url_part_aliases:
                       http://www.htdig.org/ *site \
                       http://www.htdig.org/that/ *1 \
                       .htm *2

Doesn't the example here illustrate url_part_aliases being used as a
means of compression (perhaps a legacy function superseded by
common_url_parts) rather than as "an easy way to rename parts of
URLs?"
