I posted this on the official addon forum, figure I'd repost here.

I was getting annoyed with random errors anytime I'd use function aliases I was used to having available so I re-created all the global aliases that WoW provides. I figured I'd post it because it could be helpful to anyone porting any addons to Rift. I personally have the code as the first file in my RunOnStartup but you could make a lib out of it and add it as a dependency/embed if you were so inclined.. would probably make it a bit more reusable. shrug. anyway here ya are
