  Syntax: alias [<alias> [<value>]]                                           
                                                                              
  View, or set an alias.                                                      
                                                                              
  When setting aliases, there are a number of variables that  are  replaced   
  by the alias processor.                                                     
    $*  is replaced by the whole argument given to the alias,                 
    $1  is replaced by the first argument given,                              
    $2  is replaced by the second argument,                                   
    etc....                                                                   
                                                                              
  Defaults can be given to each argument like so:                             
    $3{3rd}      (default of third argument is "3rd")                         
                                                                              
  Examples:                                                                   
    alias gsl grin $1 smile $1 laugh $1                                       
    alias x look at $*                                                        
    alias grin grin $*{mischievously}                                         
    alias yas say $5 $4 $3 $2 $1                                              
                                                                              
  Note:                                                                       
    Any alias defined without  a  variable  gains a $* wildcard at the end    
    automatically.
