Review Comment:
I thought of this as well, but it has side effects too.
1. The ordering of the aliases changes when pumping from one list to
another. Although the significance of this is mostly cosmetic.
2. The corner case above would not work any more, as executing `$ ua ` would
temporarily remove ua from the valid alias list (moving it to the expanded
list). So all aliases *besides* ua would be removed.
Another example:
```
$ alias foo='ls;unalias foo'
$ foo
```
This would fail to perform the "unalias foo" part, as it has been
(temporarily) plucked from the list of known aliases (it cannot be found
anymore).
I know these corner cases are insane usages of aliases, but the standard
does not prohibit making such aliases.
I did explore other options for the separate NSH_ALIASLIST storage but all
of them had some corner case that did not work. This implementation does at
least work.
