It _can_ be added, but it was intentionally avoided at the time because
there was discussion of adding other p-words, including:

  - @{pull} as a synonym for @{upstream} (and to better match @{push})

  - @{publish}, which was some similar-ish system that was based on
    per-branch config, but the patches were never merged.

It's been a few years with neither of those things happening, so in a
sense it may be safe to add it now. OTOH, if users are not clamoring for
@{p} and it is just being added "because we can", maybe that is not a
good reason.

Did you mean to say "short form '@\{p}'"?
