We're using Modules 4.2.1 on a HPC system. Using set-alias in a module always creates an alias in the target shell (bash mostly in our case), but that doesn't work for non-interactive shells; the alias is defined but without (for bash) shopt -s expand_aliases being executed, they're not usable. The manpage states that set-alias will set an alias or function. Is there a way to force it to create a function instead of an alias? set-function isn't much use as the definition has to be written in the target shell's syntax, and one of the benefits of using module files is that they're shell-agnostic. I'm fairly certain this is new behaviour for 4.2.1 or thereabouts. Until about a year ago we were running an older version of modulefiles and I'm pretty certain we didn't get this problem.
