To me that sounds more like an argument for shareable aliases or tab
completion, not for builtin aliases.

And the general rule is to specify --no-aliases and use the standard
command names (not user defined aliases) when writing scripts or using
an unfamiliar environment.

I don't get the point about scripts and error checking.
I've seen it in other threads and I still don't get it.

"bzr config get" (with no --all and no option) is only an error
because you say it is.
The way think of it, the option is just there to filter the default
behaviour of returning all.
Forcing me to type the --all seems redundant.

Cheers,
Kent.
