This is coming directly from "compadd -k aliases" which in turn is
hardwired in the "defs" array in _command_names.
There's a similar problem with e.g. completing the builtin "!" "command".
It always gets turned into "\!" instead.
Can anyone think of a situation in which the following is wrong?

While we're on the subject, completing after "[" or "[[" in command
position (no intervening whitespace) incorrectly attempts subscript
completion. This appears to be a bug somewhere in the internals,
because compstate[context] has been set to 'subscript' and there's no
assignment to that in _complete_debug output.
Aside: Zsh is unique, I think, in allowing alias names to contain
characters that are not legal in identifiers.
