When I want to unalias something that might already be unaliased (as
when it's in .bashrc), I just code
unalias foo 2>/dev/null
because file descriptor 2 is the standard error output.

Speaking of w3m, was anybody part of its dev team long enough
ago to know what happened to it? When I tried to join its
mailing list linked from <https://w3m.sourceforge.net/> I got
no response, even though I tried twice, a few months apart.
w3m needs some serious maintenance. It's still my favorite browser, but
I hear Google is planning to start requiring Javascript for searches,
so somebody's going to have to step up if w3m is to remain viable.
