Merging terms: dealing with the aftermathMerging terms: dealing with the aftermath

Current thinking is to secretly store a term ID for every synonym
How do we ensure that a term ID that existed once passes on to whatever term Id supersedes it? That is, taxonomy term 12 on example.com, after a lifetime of dedicated service, has been merged into term 18, so how do make sure existing links to example.com/taxonomy/term/12 get you to example.com/taxonomy/term/18?
URL aliases?
Or an addition to the code in taxonomy.module that catches /term?
We'll deal with this later.
