   Will we allow alias names that match an existing command, e.g. would we allow creating a repo alias? I would suggest that we disallow that since it opens a whole can of worms:

   $ gh alias set repo ...
   X "repo" is a built-in command and cannot be used as alias

   Already in use:

   $ gh alias set co pr checkout
   X "co" alias is already in use as "pr checkout"
   

   Will we have an option to overwrite the alias? I think we could support somethink like the -f, --force flag to opt-into overwriting an old alias.
