The problem with this is that aliases are generally thought of as something
the user adds to make something more convenient for themselves.  Or at least
that's how I've come to view them.  I don't expect anything to come with
built in aliases that are effectively part of the packaged commands.  Once
you know it's what you want, sure, it's easy.  But in this case you have to
know what you don't know.  That doesn't compute.
  
The obvious need for this sort of information is the examples in the tar man
page.  I suspect many besides me have had to reference the example
   tar -cf - -C <srcdir> . | tar -xpf - -C <destdir>
to move file hierarchies.
