I have interpreted it, and dash has interpreted it, as "reinput as an operand to the alias command", so that given an existing alias foo, v=$(alias foo) can be used to save its definition, and eval "alias $v" can be used to restore it. This is why dash has also recently changed to suitably quote not only the value, but also the name (in contradiction of POSIX because POSIX is clearly utterly wrong here). zsh does the same. Mind, this is only useful for the output of a single alias definition. For the output of multiple alias definitions, the -p option is still needed.
