I think it's a good idea, to have the aliases dictionary checked before trying to do the import.

I'll fix that. Backporting the fix should also be possible, since it is not related to any particular codec package. No. Instead, it applies uniformly to all codecs - so in some cases, users may see changes in the behaviour.

Could you give an example ?

The only change that I can think of is that setting up aliases to override builtin codecs would start working and that's more like a bug fix than a new feature.
