Oooh, but bash doesn't support arguments in aliases. Oh well, now I remember
why I don't use it.
Your bash-function there should work though - you probably had done an alias
dict=something in the same bash *before* you tried the function, that would
most probably go into an infinite recursion. Try the function in a 'fresh'
bash right away.
