Have you tested this? I thought about doing something like this, but
last I checked the service manager had a canonicalizeName() method
which strips things like underscores from alias and/or service names.
This would mean having an alias like '_' would be impossible. :(

Hi Evan,

yes that's tested yet.

I've added an onBootstrap listener in one of the modules, so the aliases will be added without any changes:

    public function onBootstrap($e)
    {
        $e->getApplication()->getServiceManager()->get('ViewHelperManager')->setAlias('_', 'translate');
        $e->getApplication()->getServiceManager()->get('ViewHelperManager')->setAlias('plural', 'translateplural');
    }

that works fine.
