this works:
$ alias z='echo a'
$ zz(){ z b; }
$ zz
a b
however, after sourcing this file:
if true; then
alias z='echo a'
zz(){ z b; }
fi
I get
$ zz
bash: z: command not found
$ type -a z
z is aliased to `echo a'
i.e., somehow zz is defined as function calling z, and z is defined as
an alias, but zz does not know what z is an alias.
