I would actually argue that the answer to your strawman question is "yes", but as I implied in another message, I had been unaware of (or had forgotten about) Functions/{Examples,Misc}.

What I actually said (as opposed to the lie you just told) is that I think it is inappropriate for the shell to natively duplicate functionality that already exists, merely to provide an alternate visual representation that you personally like better. -- vq
