Currently, it is possible to add indefinite number of aliases per node on '/admin/build/path/add', however it is not convenient for users to go to the module's administration page every time they need to create additional aliases. Moreover, there might be Drupal projects, which require more than one alias per node every single time. Use case would be a dictionary website, built on Drupal. For example, all the following urls on dictionary.com point to the same content:

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/compute
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/computable
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/computably
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/computability
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/computist

Nevertheless the top part of every page is different, they all display content of one single word page: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/compute

So, I am requesting the core path module to provide definite or indefinite number of fields for setting path aliases per node on node edit interface. The functionality, as I said in the very beginning is already there, but through administration page only. So, if it is already possible to create multiple aliases per node why not to provide more convenient UI on node edit page?

Having multiple paths for one page is not a good idea in general.

An example: all the business pages are at URL/business/businessname. But for marketing we need to have a second url such as: URL/businessname. As programmers it would be nice to only have one url because it adds complexity to our code. But makes life easier for the end user - which is what web pages are all about. So I respectively ask that you reconsider.
