could you please split this into 2 changes:
  - adding adding collect_aliases function with no functional change
    just changing all the print callers to use it
  - adding collect_all_aliases change that actualy change the behaviour
    and merges the stats

also please change the collect_aliases name to something
generic like collect data

thanks,
