          $~: last argument
       $nick: current nick
    $channel: current channel

  Examples:
    alias /split to split window horizontally:
      /alias split /window splith
    alias /hello to say "hello" on all channels but not on #weechat:
      /alias hello /allchan -exclude=#weechat msg * hello
    alias /forcejoin to send IRC command "forcejoin" with completion of /sajoin:
