BUR #19764 has been rejected.

create alias 0_0 -> o_o
create alias wide_oval_eyes -> o_o
create alias solid_oval_eyes -> solid_eyes
create alias solid_circle_eyes -> solid_eyes

All 3 tags in both groups refer to the same basic way of depicting eyes, typically when the character is surprised, confused, in the act of doing something stupid, chibified, shown as slow-witted or derpy, etc. It doesn't make much sense to split these 2 styles of eyes out into circles and (horizontal and vertical) ovals when the particular one used comes down mostly to style. The distinction of shape seems to be an overlooked remnant of past eye tagging changes. Having 1 tag instead of 3 will likely also reduce mistags between o_o and solid_eyes, which are currently very prevalent.
