It seems like doing this whole string of things is something that could 
reasonably be integrated together into a command...

$ monotone transformed

...or so?  It seems like a reasonably common case.  I wouldn't want to 
get into arch-world where there seems to be a culture of doing lots of 
little personal scripts to achieve stuff.  Then again, I also wouldn't 
want to get the arch thing of having a very large command set, so maybe 
this isn't such a good plan.
