Fixed.

Hmm, I think that in ideal world 1 API should do exactly 1 thing and 1
thing only, but we're not living in an ideal world, do we?! However, in
this specific case I don't think it's worth changing alias resolving in
a way that would copy the searched alias into URI string if the alias
wasn't matched. I could do a wrapper encompassing the alias resolving
and this proposed syntactic sugar, but it still wouldn't make it worth I
guess, since the resolver isn't executed every time unless appropriate
flags have been set. Moreover, since I fixed the ternary operator you
suggested above, the other one also becomes more readable:
virURIParse(alias ? alias : uri)....what do you think?

PS: thanks for the ACK though
