I'm happy to create symbolic links myself though aliases handled by pass
would have additional benefits:

- one could argue that insert/edit/mv/cp/rm commands are redundant
  because you can just go create files/directories, move or copy them.
  it's simply more convenient to have dedicated command

- while it could create symbolic links at first, it might as well change
  behavior later on to ie support systems without symbolic links,
  however for user change would be transparent

- in case `alias` implementation changes it could also handle migration
  process again transparently for the end user
