"man bash" , the ALIASES section:
The first word of the replacement text is tested for aliases, but a word that
is identical to an alias being expanded is not expanded a second time. This
means that one may alias ls to ls -F, for instance, and bash does not try to
recursively expand the replacement text.
No idea what non-bash things do.
