Maybe it would be nice to include predefined aliases along with gnu
coreutils, so users, whatever their knowlegde, can make so.
While with little knowledge you can prefectly understand the proposed
command, I think it's a bad assumption to consider that all GNU/Linux
users have this knowledge from the start.
In RedHat, a /etc/profile.d directory exists, and /etc/profile
"source" all files in /etc/profile.d. There no such directory in
usual Debian installation (I created it on my boxes, since I find this
usefull) but it can be proposed. Why not adding a
/etc/profile.d/coreutils.sh, with usefull aliases?
