alias with if condition crashes nushell #7512
Description
Describe the bug
Working through #7505 I came up with this, which works until you assign it to an alias. Then you type the i in vi it crashes with.
alias
alias vi = if not ((which nvim) | is-empty) { nvim } else if not ((which vim) | is-empty) { vim }
I also tried this with the same result
alias vi = (if not ((which nvim) | is-empty) { nvim } else if not ((which vim) | is-empty) { vim })
In general, there are multiple issues around alias. It would be nice to fix them. Also, this if functionality is also very command. People want to define things based on if. We should make that more intuitive.
How to reproduce
see above
Expected behavior
execute alias without crash
