I do something similar (but with zsh, as it is my shell), but also
with the other ssh commands:

ssh()    { ssh_wrapper ssh "$@" }
slogin() { ssh_wrapper slogin "$@" }
scp()    { ssh_wrapper scp "$@" }
sftp()   { ssh_wrapper sftp "$@" }

IMHO, this is better: if I don't need to use ssh in the session,
I won't have to type my passphrase.
