How to list dependencies for an alias?
Problem Description:
Assume I have this config.edn:
{:deps {org.clojure/clojure {:mvn/version "1.11.1"}}
:aliases {:dev {:extra-deps {org.clojure/tools.namespace {:mvn/version "1.3.0"}}}}}
How can I list dependencies in a way that extra-deps from dev alias are included too?
$ clj -X:dev:deps list
org.clojure/clojure 1.11.1 (EPL-1.0)
org.clojure/core.specs.alpha 0.2.62 (EPL-1.0)
org.clojure/spec.alpha 0.3.218 (EPL-1.0)

If you run clj -X:deps help/doc and scroll to the clojure.tools.cli.api/list function, you’ll see that it supports an extra :aliases argument.
So you can use something like clj -X:deps list :aliases '[:dev]'.
