What are we talking about here?  I've heard this complaint often, but
seriously, this only amounts to a handful of commands:

    cd		vs.	wd		changing directories
    chmod	vs.	edacl		changing permissions
    cp		vs.	cpf		copying files
    ln		vs. 	bind		linking	programs
    ls		vs.	ld		directory listing
    mkdir	vs.	???		creating directories
    mv		vs.	???		moving and renaming files
    rm		vs.	dlf, dlt	deleting files
    rmdir	vs.	dlt		deleting directories
    sh		vs.	sh		command processor

It sure doesn't seem to be worth the about of complaints I've seen
