Lucas Hoffmann 784a5dc35b protect alias expansion from interpreting aliases as options
If one defines aliases like `++` the alias builtin tries to interprete these
as options so they have to be protected like this

    alias -- ++=true

The same goes for a call to `alias` in order to expand the alias again.
