Curious question that is directly related to this. This did work
on my system; however, I'm not sure if this is something one wants
to be doing. If one were to type literally:

"cp" -fr somedir somefile ~/
Would this defeat the alias (in bash)?

Any quoting style:
\cp
"cp"
'cp'
should keep the alias from expanding, as does specifying the full path: /bin/cp. But with quoting you sometimes have to be aware of how many times the line will be parsed.
