Perhaps I was uttering imprecisely
(but as I am not a native English speaker this may excuse me)
The kind of alias you were mentioning like the notorious RedHat ls alias
(which I detest because it regularily spoils my aixterm, from where I log in to an RH box)
I would not really consider parameter processing like that of shell functions.
I think what the shell does here is simply a word splitting of tokens first,
and then the alias expansion before finally evaluating the whole expression.
