To clarify that:  The output of the "alias" command will use elaborate
quoting, not the internal representation of the alias.  You can see it
in a less convoluted form by examining the $alliases parameter:

% print -r -- $aliases[foo]
() {     Var=$'\e['  }

Or to get what you were originally after, single quoting:

% print -r -- ${(qq)aliases[foo]}
'() {     Var=$'\''\e['\''  }'
