What is the point of this?  Everyone has now seen the command
	tr A-Za-z N-ZA-Mn-za-m
and the various alternatives to it for whatever version of tr they have.

I know that net.jokes isn't the right place to talk about ideas like

When you want to search for a string in a file do you write "stylistic :-)"
code or do you use grep/egrep/fgrep?
