+And you don't see using two characters when one would do as overkill? You don't
+mind having Yet Another Restriction On Filenames? (yes, I have a few filenames
+with '->' in them).
Well, no, I don't. We use `>>' for append, and noone is unhappy about that.
This, to me, is just another logical extension of the "What to do with my
output" symbols. And I think it looks like a pipe, so it won't be hard to
remember. And I've tried it out -- it isn't even too hard to type! :-)
And, what are you doing with filenames having the redirection symbol in them?
Isn't that a rather bad idea?
