I found a bug in alias. If you alias a command which matches the first
characters of another alias, the first alias will be deleted. For example,
if you do:
alias exit endcli
alias ex execute []
the first alias 'exit' will go away. However, if you do
alias ex execute []
alias exit endcli
it will work fine. It's only a minor annoyance, but it could confuse users
(it had me baffled for about 10 minutes).
