Based on the sibling comment to yours, I don't think bash supports this. zsh allows you to make a \'sudo\' alias though, so it depends on your shell.



At least in bash, quoting the command disables any alias. Maybe also in zsh?


zsh seems to have much more flexible alias rules than bash:

    > alias \'sudo\'='ls -a'
    > 'sudo'                
    .  ..
