ksh(1) states:
The first character of an alias name can be any printable character,
but the rest of the characters must be the same as for a valid
identifier.
So here it goes:
alias +x=foo
i.e. I want to creat an alias with name "+x". But above way didn't work.
I also tried other ways to esacape "+" but all failed. Is this a bug in ksh
or do I simply miss something ?
Thanks,
