In fact, this behavior is POSIX-mandated, so that you can do things like:
alias exec='exec '
and get alias expansion
In the research for my responses to the alias issue I learned something
I didn't know. Not a big deal but I thought I would share.
If the value of an alias ends in a space the word following the issuance
of the alias command is also checked for alias expansion. Example:
$ alias t1='echo abc'
$
2 matches
Mail list logo
