And the most wonderful thing is that you probably don't need all that
stuff (alias, function) and simply type "vi [Alt]+[.]"
("insert-last-word"). Because this is common sequence like
cat <deletable_file>
rm <deletable_file>
it doesn't make sense to make aliases or functions for all the
countless possibilities.
