I like typing a command.

Fits in with the rhythm.

Well I think ll is pretty useless, but yeah. Vdir does the same thing 
and can have different formatting but you can fix that.

Well like I said, based on its merit, the change should be done at the

I don't disagree with your statement. But good ideas get followed up on.

Bad ideas need forcing.

So you don't have to be afraid to implement something good, but in this 
case I just don't think it's good.
