| Aug 27, 2025 at 3:24 | comment | added | wjandrea | Follow-up question: Why does Bash allow aliasing a "reserved word" in the first place? According to this question: Use shell reserved word if hidden by an alias, this is a bug in Bash and Zsh, while other shells behave according to the POSIX standard (which specifies more logical behaviour IMO: keywords can't expand as aliases). Zsh has an option to get around this, but I don't see one mentioned for Bash. | |
