Can we please overwrite query commands

See original GitHub issue

What would you like?

Cypress v12 designated several query commands, and now prevents me from overwriting them. Which broke my plugins https://github.com/bahmutov/cypress-if/issues/58 and https://github.com/bahmutov/cypress-aliases/issues/17 Can we please allow overwriting queries, I promise to use it for good

Cypress.Commands.overwrite('as', ...)

Why is this needed?

I keep track of information or change behavior of several query commands in my plugins

cypress-if and cypress-aliases are so core that I wish they were a part of the main code base.

For those that would like to see this feature, can you please add a comment on why overriding a query is needed vs adding a custom query. We are interested in use-cases on why this is desirable beyond it preventing overriding existing queries for the sake of re-using the command name.

In my case, I overwrite .contains() command by adding regex for ignoring special symbols and pointing the default selector if none is provided.
