Incorrect type hint in the aliases decorator signature

[neithere]

Problem

Symptoms as of Argh 0.31.3:

• mypy: Argument 1 to "aliases" has incompatible type "str"; expected "list[str]" [arg-type]
• pyright:

  Argument of type "Literal['ls']" cannot be assigned to parameter "names" of type "List[str]" in function "aliases"
    Literal['ls']" is not assignable to "List[str]" (reportArgumentType)
  

Solution

- def aliases(*names: List[str]) -> Callable:
+ def aliases(*names: str) -> Callable:

Hi! Thanks for reporting this issue.

I’ve reviewed the problem description and the type-checker errors mentioned (mypy / pyright). I believe this is a clear and well-scoped issue, and I’d like to work on fixing the incorrect type hint in the aliases decorator signature.

I’ll start by reproducing the issue locally and propose a fix that aligns with the expected typing behavior. Please let me know if there’s any preferred approach or additional context I should be aware of before submitting a PR.
