from `man zsh`:
Alias expansion is done on the shell input before any
other expansion except history expansion. Therefore, if
an alias is defined for the word foo, alias expansion may
be avoided by quoting part of the word, e.g. \foo. But
there is nothing to prevent an alias being defined for
\foo as well.
Boo, zsh, boo.
