[v1.2.9] Can not alias with env. variables.

[esphas]

Env. variables in config\aliases will not work - they just display as is. But do alias in cmder works.
In config\aliases:

ppath=echo %PATH%

In cmder:

λ ppath
%PATH%
λ echo %PATH%
C:\WINDOWS\System32\...
λ alias ppath=echo %PATH%
λ ppath
C:\WINDOWS\System32\...

And, er..
In cmd:

> set CMDER_ROOT=e:\uts\cmder
> cd bin
> alias.bat /reload
Aliases reloaded
> ppath
C:\WINDOWS\System32\...

It might be related to the strange behavior of doskey:
In cmder:

λ doskey /macrofile=e:\uts\cmder\config\aliases
λ ppath
%PATH%

In cmd:

> doskey /macrofile=e:\uts\cmder\config\aliases
> ppath
C:\WINDOWS\System32\...

---

Edit:
Well, I found it reasonable why alias directly in cmder can use env. variables because the bin\alias.bat just got the real PATH as an argument instead of the string "%PATH%" - it just stored the value in config\aliases when exactly running.

But I still don't understand the problem itself - why doskey works wrong with cmder.

I found another issue reports the same problem: #684

It seems the dev build of clink can be used as a temporary fix. Anyway I thought this issue can be closed?
