Description
When not using custom made exceptions, I find myself using TypeError, NameError and ArgumentError the most. ArgumentError is the longest and I would like to suggest to alias it officially as ArgError.

This just saves 5 characters, but creates confusion because now many people will start to wonder what the difference is between ArgumentError and ArgError, if any.

Yes, but one of those characters is 'm'!

Anything in particular that's problematic about 'm'? I have tentatively classified that as a joke, but can switch it back if needed.
