I think alias definitions should best live in their own file and be sourced from
.${SHELL}rc. This way you can
a) share aliases among different (POSIX) shells
b) have a modular way of handling aliases (even within scripts)
I've outsourced everything, my .zshrc just ties it together (there's a file for
functions, one for the environment and one for aliases) and sets some stuff that
wouldn't make sense otherwise (like history and stuff).
