In mutt-speak (woof?), <create-alias> is a "function" (something
normally executed by a keystroke), not a "command" (like stuff in
muttrc).  push is a "command" that executes a "function".

So the valid syntax is:
:<command>
:push <function>

but not
:<function>

If you look in the manual, you'll see in section 6 there are separate
sections for commands and functions.

Does that make any sense?
