Well I must say that this is intentional :) We want to people to get
into the habit of spelling it out in full, i.e., "cbc(aes)" instead of
"aes" because it's umabiguous and still short enough to type.

We can't force people to stop using "aes" so the best we can do is
to change to the new way with new algorithms such as camellia where
there wouldn't be a compatibility issue.
