[feat]: alias-proof syntax highlighting
If the feature request is for a plugin or theme, specify it here.
fast syntax highlighting
If the feature solves a problem you have, specify it here.
I use an alias for sudo: _. When I use this alias, the alias itself has highlighting, but everything after it doesn’t. Highlighting works fine for sudo. Example:
$ _ dnf update
_ is highlighted, dnf update is not.
$ sudo dnf update
sudo and dnf are highlighted green, update yellow (intended behavior).
Describe the proposed feature.
It would be awesome if fast-syntax-highlighting could interpret aliases, and one could achieve proper syntax highlighting despite using them.
Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context
fast-syntax-highlighting does manage to interpret aliases to a certain degree, the problem really does seem to be “nested” commands :) Love the plugin though!!! Keep up the good work!

bar? will highlight blue.
