Yes, but, as I said, we had to restrict the allowed range due to
security implications. (Many of these you listed are seriously old,
for example pdksh’s last release was in 1999… mksh is its successor.)
Also, it’s not guaranteed by POSuX.

OK, I can add that to the allowed aliases, we just cannot let an
alias begin with ‘+’ for the same reason ’-’ is not allowed as
first character. I have already put that on my TODO.
