We *already* have a fancy aliasing feature. You can add arbitrary
subcommands of your own, and you can override existing subcommands. Try
this in your ~/.dimrc:

dim_my_fancy_list_aliases()
{
	echo "Hello world!"
	dim_list_aliases
}

dim_alias_list_aliases=my-fancy-list-aliases

This first part will give you a new "dim my-fancy-list-aliases"
subcommand, and the second part will use it for "dim list-aliases".

Go wild. ;)


BR,
Jani.
