Another idea would to be to call sudo with the desired shell as
argument (in order to inherit the aliases), followed by a command
as argument to the shell (in order to execute a particular command),
something like

	% sudo bash -c "my_command_alias"

It may be possible that bash requires an additional argument to tell
it to read ~/.bashrc when invoked in a non-interactive manner.

Keep in mind that I haven't tried this solution because I don't
use bash on a regular basis.
