I have many aliases set up for taskwarrior in zsh:

alias tasn="task +sn add"`

On the command line, I'll type in:

tasn some task description here

Which works unless I put in single quote or some other character:

tasn call Tom's friend


I tried a heredoc

alias mucky=<<EOD

echo tom's friend

EOD


But it doesn't work :(
