I have added this feature to Eshell and created a patch, please check if
this works for you.

Additionally, I noticed that the doc string for
`eshell-variable-aliases-list' mentioned an `eshell-user-aliases-list',
variable but wasn't able to find it anywhere (neither using the Git
log), so I removed the mention.
