Hi Larry,

I've not used it before.
$ printf 'foo*: bar\n' | ali -alias /dev/stdin -list
foo*: bar
$ printf 'foo*: bar\n' | ali -alias /dev/stdin fee foo fooxyzzy FOOBAR
fee
bar
bar
bar
$
In perusing the source and spotting the case-insensitiveness of that
last FOOBAR example, I realised
$ printf 'f^o: bar\n' | ali -alias /dev/stdin foo f~o
foo
bar
$

Cheers, Ralph.
