This ability does not exist, nor will it.

The ability to define an alias via Elm is a convienence.
The group alaises are really supposed to be edited in a text editor.
All you need do is edit the aliases.text file to add, drop, change
an entry.  The Elm alias stuff that modify's the aliases.text file
is just a convienence.
