        alias [<command> [<value>]]

  DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN

  With no arguments, this will display all aliases and their values. Given
  just a command, it will report the value of the command if it is currently
  aliased. If value is a null string, the command will be _u_n_a_l_i_a_s_e_d.
  Otherwise, this will make command an alias for value.

  Aliases cannot override valid commands. If an alias and a command have the
  same name, the command will have preference. It may be possible to rename a
  valid command to a new name and then create an alias in its place if that
  is desired.

  To make "hello" print "hi there":

        lens> alias hello {puts "hi there"}
        puts "hi there"
        lens> hello
