Aliasing away pencil mustache and adding utility aliases

Posted under Tags

BUR #20614 has been rejected.

create alias pencil_mustache -> object_on_top_lip

As the wiki mentions, the tag name is a specific facial hair style. Having it as the main name is confusing to say the least.

object_on_top_lip is what was suggested as the least ambiguous alternative on the discord. Feel free to suggest other names below if you feel like there are better options

I think I managed to remove actual facial hair from pencil_mustache and most were replaced with mustache (unless it was already present), so this BUR might be good to go.

On the other hand, I'm not really sure whether it should be an alias. Maybe rename would work better and pencil mustache could be used for actual mustache style, hence my meh vote.

I was thinking of the actual mustache when I clicked this thread earlier so I'd rather not alias them, the mustache style is very distinct and totally taggable since we already have tags like handlebar mustache. I think the name should be reserved for the real thing at the very least.

BUR #21140 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

rename pencil_mustache -> pencil_as_mustache
create alias pen_on_lips -> pencil_as_mustache
create alias pencil_on_lips -> pencil_as_mustache

Alternate proposal. "Object on top lip" sounds really weird, it's like we're trying to make it as generic as possible when it usually only applies to pencils and pens. Alternatively, pencil on lips sounds good too.
