Trying to reproduce this in Emacs 28 gives me a different, and more
logical (?) result:
~/src/emacs/trunk $ alias c 'cp $*'
~/src/emacs/trunk $ sudo c foo /etc/bar
[sudo] password for larsi:
sudo: c: command not found
Is this working as designed, or is eshell supposed to expand the alias
before calling sudo?
