The competent programmer is fully aware of the strictly limited size of his own skull; therefore he approaches the programming task in full humility, and among other things he avoids clever tricks like the plague. |

Nice informative post (like the previous)!
It's good that you not only teach the command, but also explain 'why' it works. Top work.
One thing I have noticed, when using ctrl-x ctrl-e to open the current command in your fav editor (for me vim) after you save, quit and execute that command, my aliases don't work until the second attempt (not sure if that makes sense)
Keep up the good work
