Function definitions that use a bad function name (such as "-" and "=")
are accepted if the function name already exists as an alias. For example:
$ -

dash: 2: -: not found
$ alias -=true
$ -
$ - () { echo

trying to minimize a shell code I found an unobvious moment with heredocs and

Is it specified by POSIX how next code should be parsed? dash output for this
