sounds like a great idea until you get used to it and then
EXPECT it when you're on someone else's system. Much Badness
that way lies.
here's my relevant aliases--
alias rm='echo use RM instead'
alias RM='rm -i'
that way i get out of the habit of expecting "rm" to treat me
like an idiot child; i use RM instead. and when, on another
system, RM isn't available, i can revert to doign the "-i" by
hand, consciously.
just a thought.
