True. Should the manpage be corrected then?

Maybe extend with an "alias -r" (raw) command that just prints the value
without quoting? Basically the equivalent of:

rawalias() { local _x; _x=$(alias $1) && echo $(eval echo -n ${_x#$1=})
}

FWIW, our shell extends beyond POSIX, for example POSIX doesn't know
Dollar-Single Quotes.
