Subject: Aliases that ignore "noaliases"
Date: Mon, 1 Apr 2024 12:59:09 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAH+w=7bgYJTaMfurw357eHikQL9bQs=DUfBU_VNy4BEyWgvFZg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
There are some cases where it would be nice to be able to declare an
alias that "always works". The most obvious recent example would be
alias nameref='typeset -n'
but also some hackiness in zsh/param/private could be avoided with
alias private='local -P'
This is important when the alias invokes a keyword rather than a builtin, e.g.
function private { local -P "$@" }
doesn't parse its argument list the same way. There are some other
instances where an internally-defined alias that (in particular)
survives "autoload -U" might be useful.
Any thoughts?
