Excellent. Aliases stay persistent, so it is the complete solution. I've
added this to eshell.texi.

Best regards, Michael.

I've recently noticed Eshell is now calling tramp for every sudo
command. Tramp is very slow, and I believe for most cases tramp
intermediation is unnecessary.

Could we please add a customizable switch to enable/disable
eshell/sudo? Disabling eshell/sudo by default would be even better.
