Changing order in bzr help command text

Hi,

Would it be desirable to move the "aliases" and "see also" lines in
command-line help to the top of the output?

Taking "bzr status help" as an example:

Purpose: Display status summary.
Usage:   bzr status [FILE...]
Aliases:  st, stat
See also: diff, revert, status-flags

Options:
<snip>

I ask because longer descriptions can make the "aliases" and "see
also" easy to miss.

I don't think it would be overloading the top of the help text to move
them up front.

Anyone have an objection to moving them? I'm not proposing to move
them myself, btw.
