/help Aliases

Aliases can be called from the command line, from other aliases, and from popup and remote scripts. An alias cannot call itself recursively mainly because this seems to cause more problems for users than it solves.

Reading that, I wouldn't bet on seeing this feature in mirc, Khaled has decided against it (and I agree with him). Quite a few alternatives have been proposed, like a new alias switch:
alias -r somealias {
.....
}

I like the -r solution: it wouldn't break any scripts and the novice scripter wouldn't accidentally crash mirc, since he would probably not include the -r switch in the alias. The only problem I see with this is that there would be no way to make an alias written in Aliases section recursive (in the sense of calling itself), because there is no alias prefix there.
