I don't remember what I had in mind when I initially posted the issue,
but I suppose that I reported it because I noticed an inconsistency
between "sudo" and "*sudo".

That said, Bash does not expand aliases before sudo.  So maybe the right
thing to do is to have "*sudo" behave the same way as well, to be
consistent with what users may be familiar with (Bash).

Cheers!
