So I have those aliases over there (in /var/aegir/.drush, what a coincidence :) that I have legally access to *but* that are not in my search path (because I am not the aegir user). I need to do something silly like:

env HOME=/var/aegir drush command

... to find those aliases while I expected:

drush -i /var/aegir/.drush command

to "Just Work".

Reading up on the alias path search algorithm, it strikes me as being an incomplete duplicate of the commandfiles search algorithm...

Is there any reason why those two are different? Why can't I look for aliases in other places with -i?

I think this is a dupe of #957182: Setting $options['alias-path'] in one drushrc.php file should not overwrite default values, or values set in other config files. If not, please reopen. Patches welcome, over there.
