I hate to point this out, since I personally like the command
	> foo
to as an alias to
	pushd foo

The problem is, if you just see the command "> foo" in an example,
does that mean "create/zero the file foo" (Bourne shell) or "pushd
to the directory foo" (csh alias)?

Please don't say that "you can infer the meaning from the context of
the example" since it potentially rapes novice users.
