For myself, I don't use aliases/functions, I use shell scripts. For 
example, on my path, I have
$HOME/scripts

and I could have a file $HOME/scripts/vi, that I chmod +x, that reads
#!/bin/sh
[whatever bourne-syntax shell code you want to do]
.

actually I just am accustomed to saying 'vim file'. But I use my various 
scripts for a lot of things.  They can be invoked by every shell equally 
well.
