'main': Update comments after last commit. No functional change.

$last_alias isn't needed; there's no reason to treat loops of length 2
(alias a=b b=a) differently to loops of length 1 (alias a=a), length 3
(alias a=b b=c c=a), or length N.

The «(( $+seen_alias[$arg] ))» check is redundant as of the last commit:
the enclosing condition ensures that $res is "alias", which implies that
«(( $+seen_alias[$arg] ))» is false.
