Note that you can simplify this (and the other examples) by using

	\def\doublespaced{\baselineskip=1.5\normalbaselineskip}
	\let\doublespace=\doublespaced

Doing this sort of thing is not terribly important unless you are
building a big macro package; but if you are, this saves precious
memory space.
