How difficult would it be for someone to implement a general "alias" command ? ie. 'alias bootto "resetmode $1 && reset"'

It's usually a customer that asks the "How hard would it be?" question, but you can almost get there like this:

U-Boot> set mynewcommand "echo Hello"
    U-Boot> $mynewcommand
Hello
U-Boot> $mynewcommand World
Hello World

This does not work: you should issue "run $mynewcommand World"

And this let me slowly remember at:

I completely forgotten this issue, and I have never update the status of my patch. Is ther estill some interest on this or have I missed something and now is the behavior in shell as in your example ?
