Add command aliases to README.md output by wp scaffold package-readme #264
Description
The README.md output by wp scaffold package-readme does not include @alias directive information (alternative names for a given command as described here). I think it would be good to include it either by default (my preference) or via a flag such as below:
wp scaffold package-readme --include-aliases

Makes sense to me!
We just recently enabled this for the handbook already via wp-cli/wp-cli#6147 and wp-cli/handbook#605 so this should be trivial to do.
We can include this by default, with a simple line like:

@swissspidy Thanks! Out of curiosity, are multiple command aliases allowed? It appears only the first mention of
@aliasin the command definition is honored.swissspidy commentedon Jan 9, 2026
Only a single alias is supported at the moment.
