Hi,

  I'm trying to convert aliases in my .cshrc file into equivalent aliases
in .bashrc.  Is there anyway to get the equivalent of Csh's:

alias g++ "/usr/gnu/g++ -O \!* -lg++"

using bash aliases?  There doesn't seem to be a way to substitute
arguments when using bash aliases.  I assume one could use shell
functions for this, but that seems like overkill.

Also, Bolsky and Korn's recent book on ``The Korn Shell'' describes 
the $(< filename) construct, which serves the same purpose as
$(cat filename) or `cat filename`, but is faster.  This feature doesn't
seem to work with bash 1.03, i.e.:

foo=$(cat .cshrc)

works fine, but

foo=$(< .cshrc)

fails (it sets foo to null).
