Comment(by felipec):

 The 'special alias' in the patch is wrong, the alias is not for per
 'buddy' it's per passport and per conversation.

 Imagine someone who joins the conversation but is not on your buddy list.
 You want the alias to be seen on the conversation, but nowhere else.
 That's what the P4-Context field is for.

 Stretching this concept the same passport can be in two separate
 conversations with a different 'special alias', so again, setting one
 'special alias' for a buddy is wrong.

 Can somebody write a patch that allows an on-the-fly alias update of a
 certain passport in a certain conversation?
