"Alias" is sort of a misnomer since you can create a new syntactic sugar-like
command instead of changing the behavior of an existing one. I've had these
in my .bashrc for over 10 years now:

alias ..='cd ..'
alias ...='cd ../..'

....and I don't believe you can write a script named ".." without a lot of
fooling around....
