IIRC the way -a works is it substitutes the command line with the alias, then 
reparses it.. if you alias something to itself it's basically an infinite loop.

OTOH standard modules aren't parsed recursively like that so they don't have 
the issue.

There *is* checking for this situation (case sensitive though, which I just 
fixed).  Your example shouldn't have done anything but generate an error, 
unless you mixed case.
