load-bash-alias's Issues

Rename load-bash-alias-load-bash-alias-into-eshell to load-bash-alias-into-eshell

I think the prefix being duplicated makes little sense. We still have the package prefix and the new name is shorter and reads much easier.

To keep BC you can alias the old one to the new one and mark it obsolete.
