I don't think it's worth it at this point, because we'd have to extract
out the alias parsing logic from send-email, which is not easy.

The option is pretty orthogonal to git-send-email, but until/unless
git-send-email is re-implemented in C, i don't really see value in
trying to separate the logic out... That is a lot more effort for very
little gain.
