Please allow "make" as alias for "makefile"
See original GitHub issueCould you please allow ```make as a convenient shorthand for ```makefile? This is definitely more guessable than the currently supported aliases ```mk and ```mak, and the name of the actual command you use to run a Makefile.

No one is around if everyone asks that first. 😉 “Be the change you want to see in the world.” - Gandhi
Plus I always try to encourage new contributors - doubly so for easy things. If you cut your teeth on just adding an alias then perhaps when you see how deficient the Makefile grammar is you’ll be more tempted to come back and make a contribution to improve it. 😃 That’s just a hope of course. 😃
Hmmmm… are there any other makes our there other than GNU make that would make “make” ambiguous?
