what can be global aliases used for?




I'm trying to get the suspected capabilities out of global aliases. Currently I'm using them for:
- macro-like labels for exporting patterns like EMPTYSTR being [[:space:][:INVALID:]]# roughly, to a single place,
- macro-like SNIP_EMULATE_OPTIONS_ZERO that invokes emulate, setopt and 0=...

I wonder what else can global aliases do?
