I am sorry everybody I simply don't get this conversation - Implement it as a
port - add it to bash/zsh/tcsh as an option - feel free - But if objective is
to make a vanilla FreeBSD easier to use - I can think of 10,000 things (give
or take a couple of 1000's) that would be a more wothy target.

what angle I take on the register/make INDEX timing issues they are

A simple and pragmatic solution is to use alias in what ever shell you are
