alias in KSH ?

[Jun Lu]

ksh(1) states:
	The first character of an alias name can be any printable character,
	but the rest of the characters must be the same as for a valid
	identifier.

So here it goes:

	alias +x=foo

i.e. I want to creat an alias with name "+x".  But above way didn't work.
I also tried other ways to esacape "+" but all failed.  Is this a bug in ksh
or do I simply miss something ?

Thanks,
-- Jun
