Currently, only the uml directive is supported. It would be nice if plantuml as a alias to the uml directive could be added.
The main argument for this is support for PlantUML rendering with GitLab in Markdown. It supports PlantUML via:
```plantuml
Bob -> Alice : hello
Alice -> Bob : hi
If you use [MyST](https://myst-parser.readthedocs.io) to use Markdown with sphinx, PlantUML via `sphinxcontrib.plantuml` only works with a `{uml}` code fence:
````markdown
```{uml}
Bob -> Alice : hello
Alice -> Bob : hi
This is unfortunate because this means you can't use the same file to render both with GitLab and sphinx.
However, if the `plantuml` directive would be supported, one could set
```python
myst_fence_as_directive = ["plantuml"]
in the sphinx config to support the default GitLab rendering.
