| aliases come from csh which did not do that expansion after
| trailing blank thing.
Actually from ashell, thje precursor of csh - that I knew, though csh
aliases were quite a different thing, closer in some respects to sh
functions than sh aliases (but like much of csh, it really all was a
bit of a mess.)
It was how they moved to sh that I don't know the history of, as (being
a BSD user, whcih never really moved from the 7th edn Bourne sh as
its /bin/sh until licensing issues caused ash to appear, I never
really followed what was happing in the non-BSD world).
