The pagespec_alias plugin allows the administrator(s) of a wiki to define PageSpec aliases: short names for PageSpecs to ease re-use.

Within the setup file, the `pagespec_aliases` value is treated as a list of key/value pairs. The keys define alias names, the values the pagespecs to which they refer.

For example:

    pagespec_aliases:
       image: "*.png or *.jpg or *.jpeg or *.gif or *.ico"
       helper: "*.css or *.js"
       boring: "image() or helper() or internal(*)"

With the above, you could use the pagespec aliases such as

    [[!map  pages="!boring()"]]

To define a site map which excluded various page names which might be uninteresting to include in a site map.
