See standards quote within, but the fun bit is: alias "a'b=c" "ls&id=cd"; alias outputs ls&id='cd' a'b='c' neither of which is What You Want, and also you can't invoke them because you need to escape the quote/&/whatever, which disables alias processing. Forbid the minimum broken set.
I didn't realise this at the time, and since it's not getting merged it's not very important, but for completeness: this patch also rejects some aliases that are invokable:
alias $=echo $ hello world This is because whether $ is special depends on the character that follows. Cheers, Harald van Dijk
