Cannot switch between aliased paths

Version

4.0.0-rc.5

Reproduction link

https://codesandbox.io/s/vue-router-4-reproduction-forked-qxzts

Steps to reproduce

Have a look at router aliases and try clicking through navigation.

What is expected?

1. You should be able to navigate between aliased paths, even when they resolve to the current route object (so that the path changes).

2. <router-link> should have router-link-exact-active class only when the path matches exactly.

What is actually happening?

1. You can't navigate between aliased paths that resolve to the current route object.

2. <router-link> has router-link-exact-active class when an entire route object matches (because of alias).

This is expected: vuejs/rfcs#136
Not treating the navigation as duplicated would be inconsistent and confusing with the active behavior

Ah crap, I'll need to work around then. I was relying on this behavior when using Vue Router 3. Thanks for pointing to the RFC.

@radek-altof Did you find the solution? I need to navigate between aliases like /es/page and /nl/page with switching language in beforeEach

@a0s To be perfectly honest, I don't remember at all, it's been a very long time 😅
