You use the gas tank fill spout once in a while, when you fill up.
If you drive lots, maybe every second day. Maybe once a week.

I sit down at a Unix box. I write some code. I will use "*" within 5
minutes, guaranteed. I'd say that's an "accelerator", not a
"gas tank fill spout".

So, every day. Unix. Amiga. Unix. Amiga. You don't get used to how
bad the Amiga commands are.
