Not useful when aliased to 'command <command>'

Issue Details

To avoid aliasing based on other aliases, most of my zsh aliases are aliased to 'command ' like
alias ls='command ls' and alias g='command git'. (command is a zsh builtin.)
zsh-you-should-use doesn't work well with these aliases.

For example,
I have cmd='command' and sas='command SwitchAudioSource ' in my aliases:

First time I've heard of the command builtin to be honest. Seems like command should be treated as not being there when it comes to determining aliases from what I understand?

Yeah I agree it's not a very popular builtin. :)

Very few people use command in their aliases but sometimes it's good to use it to avoid aliasing based on another alias or a user-defined function that happen to have the same name with the actual command.

I don't think there's a good way to fix issues with this edge case and I don't think I need it now. :)

I'll close this issue.
