While it looks good, one has to think about the cost of commands. In the same way that certain words slip off the tongue, and others don't, so too are certain words or commands easy (or not so easy) to type.

`ls` is easy, one keypress from each hand: right index, left middle.

`exa` requires three from one hand, likely left index (2), left middle, and requires three row changes.

To me, when we're going to use a command thousands of times per year, it has to be ergonomic.



Uh, alias it to whatever you want?
