To find out what commands are masked by aliases, do something like this:

alias | sed 's/^[^ ]* *\|=.*$//g' | while read a; do
  printf "%20.20s : %s\n" $a "$(type -ta $a | tr '\n' ' ')"
done | awk -F: '$2 ~ /file/'

###Explanation

alias alone lists defined aliases and sed extracts their name. The while loop runs type -ta on each of them and awk prints the lines that both contain alias and file.

To find out what commands are masked by aliases, do something like this:

alias                            |
awk -F '[ =]+' '{print $2}'      |
while read cmd; do
  type -ta "$cmd" | grep -q file \
    && printf "%s is overloaded: \"%s\"\n" "$cmd" "$(alias $cmd)"
done

Explanation

alias alone lists defined aliases and awk extracts their name. The while loop runs type -ta on each of them and grep checks if any also are a file.

To find out what commands are masked by aliases, do something like this:

alias | sed 's/^[^ ]* \|=.*$//g' | while read a; do
  printf "%20.20s : %s\n" $a "$(type -ta $a | tr '\n' ' ')"
done | awk -F: '$2 ~ /file/'
