Avoid writing Eshell alias file after each added alias.

Well, it's an old file with aliases and I don't really know all of them by heart. But there are 131 aliases. I've also tested with an empty .alias file and in this case this solution works immediately. Apparently, 131 is a huge number for elisp, I'm not sure if it's only that though...

| Nov 2, 2022 at 7:06 | comment | added | g-gundam | Just out of curiosity, how many aliases do you have? 40 seconds is a long time just to load aliases. | |

Thanks! Even though it worked fine it seems that emacs loads this function on the run all the times that I open eshell for the first time on emacs... Since I have a lot of aliases this solution is slow for my case (it takes around 40 seconds to start)... I'm not sure if there's a workaround with a elisp solution. But I've realized the bash solution on the page from your link works immediately... Probably writing a bash script that watches changes on my .alias file and rewrites a second .alias_eshell file works better for me.
