Thanks, merged. I also refactored alias replace functions to use dynamic string, making code much simple and less error-prone with the malloc and realloc functions. |

Resolves #1140.
The new special variable
$&expands to all arguments supplied to alias, except that double quotes are escaped with backslashes. This means that arbitrary text can be passed into (e.g.)/exec, with alias rather than the user handling escaping.(I thought about using
$@, for 'like$*but does something different related to quotes', but figured that might be misleading given the difference in 'something'.)
