False.  What you need is something that happens after alias expansion, but
before built-in detection.  Like variable substitution.  For example:

aiva% alias "unalias" \\unalias
aiva% alias "alias" \\alias
aiva% unalias alias
unalias: Command not found.
aiva%
aiva% set b=unalias
aiva% $b unalias
aiva% unalias alias
aiva%
