That's your business as long as you are the only one to ever deal with the
source code.  This practise could lead to major headaches and maintenance
cost when someone else has to pick up your code after you've left the
project, got run over by a truck, or whatever.

Do you also use the bank 0 aliases for all the other special function
registers that are in other banks?  Many of them don't map to intuitive
registers that might "remind" someone of the true intended target register.
What about your own variables in banks 1 and up?
