How to prevent alias expansion

[JÃrg Sommer <joerg@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've a problem with alias expansion. When using run-help and an global
alias for redirect to /dev/null the command fails.

% alias -g DN='>/dev/null'
% git show DN<ESC h>
<empty output>

I propose this patch:
commit f7d81342f5d1a17879cbee0c2d0e602451f21e19

    Doubleâquote the argument of specialized run-help functions
    
    Quoting the arguments of the run-help-$CMD functions only one time makes
    eval expands them. In the case of a global alias DN='>/dev/null' the
    output of the functions gets redirected to /dev/null, which is bad.
    
    % alias -g DN='>/dev/null'
    % run-help-foo () { echo bar; }
    % foo <ESC h>
    foo not found
    bar
    % foo DN<ESC h>
    foo not found
    %
