Command arguments interpreted as aliases about bitburner HOT 3 CLOSED

Added a way to delete aliases in v0.22.0

To be honest I'm not sure whether command arguments should be interpreted as aliases. If someone wanted to pass the string "foodnstuff" into a script as an argument and had an alias for "fns=foodnstuff" I would think letting them pass fns in as the argument instead of foodnstuff would be a good thing. Similarly if someone wanted to create a single alias for all of the arguments:

alias sargs1="foodnstuff 500000 10" 
run foo.script sargs1

I feel like that would be convenient

I'll think about it/get other feedback and I'll leave this issue open for now

I think it would be a good idea to solve this problem by using an alias system like in zsh. There you are able to define aliases which only work at the start of a command, like you would in bash, but you also have the ability to define global aliases which work an any part of a command. This way you are able to use a global alias for parameters but are also able to define normal aliases like above.
