I don't think it's all that surprising. More to the point, I don't
think that that's a coherent principle in this context. Finally, if
anyone ever gives me `mv-alike' and `rm-alike' and `rmdir-alike' tla
subcommands, the principle you cite will apply in the manner you like,
regardless.

In the .arch-ids subdir of that dir.

Barely.

Not compelling. You want to write the `rm/mv/rmdir'-alike commands.
