We should rip out the whole current/old aliasing, IMHO. CURRENT has
been unsupported for a version or two now, hasn't it?

I had that on my personal TODO list, but I was going to leave it till
after 7.1 because I had mistakenly thought that CURRENT was still a
keyword in 7.0. But it wasn't, was it? Bruce, why did you put in
that mapping?
