Yep, because abbreviations only apply to commands entered at an interactive
prompt. In fact, this is a good example where an abbreviation is the better
choice. Most newcomers to fish are likely to use our `alias` command
thinking it plays a similar role to the bash command of the same name. When
in fact it's `abbr` that is the analog of bash `alias`. We should probably
make that clearer in the docs.
