Shell slow to start with `eval "$(thefuck --alias)"`, workaround is a lazy loading trick

[pallaswept]

Came to report this same issue. For some reason, thefuck --alias takes ~100ms to return, on a 5900X... Similar functions (zoxide init, starship init, etc) take ~2ms here.

time thefuck --alias

            function fuck () {
                TF_PYTHONIOENCODING=$PYTHONIOENCODING;
                export TF_SHELL=bash;
                export TF_ALIAS=fuck;
                export TF_SHELL_ALIASES=$(alias);
                export TF_HISTORY=$(fc -ln -10);
                export PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8;
                TF_CMD=$(
                    thefuck THEFUCK_ARGUMENT_PLACEHOLDER "$@"
                ) && eval "$TF_CMD";
                unset TF_HISTORY;
                export PYTHONIOENCODING=$TF_PYTHONIOENCODING;
                history -s $TF_CMD;
            }

My workaround rather than lazy loading was simply to use the output of the command directly in my bashrc. I'll need to re-do that if the output changes and thefuck breaks in future, but the performance is better.
