Not a very big deal, but could the guild names in "who guild ..." be changed

who guild druids
who guild priests
yet:
who guild psionicist
who guild nun

All of those could be either singular or plural but it seems to be quite
random which guild is which.

This idea has been thrown out there many times and hasn't been fixed for at
least 2 reasons:
a) It requires changing all the guild commands in every guild.
b) No normal wizard has access to all the files of every guild. It would
require an archwizard to give one rights, which is unlikely imho to happen or
do it himself.

A good interim solution might be to go through as many guilds as possible, and
make them have both plural and singular as the guild command...this means
nothing old breaks, just new added functionality. Win Win situation, except
for the poor sucker who has to go through and edit that.

The main problem is the 'who guild <blah>' command. Most people know their own
guild commands. Just set up aliases for those guilds for the who guild
command only. No need to play with all the different guild commands.

I agree that setting up aliases in 'who guild foo' would be 80% of the issue,
but the guild commands would be awesome too...I'm usually in a few guilds, and
it seems like more of them these days have guild syntax to check rep or kills
or some random thing, and I can never remember which one is plural and which
singular...so I'd be 80% happy if just aliases were put in 'who guild ...' and
100% happy if the guild commands were set so they worked both ways. And
perhaps future guilds would standardize on singular or plural or something.
