True, but only when a path is passed in. If the default path is used,
looking up in the hash table is correct, and printing tracked aliases is
intentional.

If it's desirable to drop that feature, then it should be dropped
completely, code shouldn't be left in that can no longer be used. But
it's possible to keep it working: how about this instead?
