IIUC, you are adding a new rule that if an incoming command name has partial matches to one user command and one alias command, the user command is preferred over the alias command.  Is that right?

You certainly should document that rule somewhere - maybe in the Tutorial section of the docs?  Maybe in the help for `command alias`.  And there should certainly be an explicit test to show this ordering - you can just use the script/scripting since that's what you added this for.

But I think I'm missing something, because I don't see how this solves the problem you set out to solve.  You wanted to add the alias `script` to point to `scripting run`, and make `sc`, `scr`, etc also mean your alias.  However, if I'm following your logic correctly, if I type `scr` then that matches the Alias command `script` -> `scripting run` and the user command `scripting`.  By the logic in your path, it will choose the user command `scripting` not the alias, which I think is the opposite of what you wanted.

I must be missing something.
