[snip] Yeah, since my alias.bash.off ls.bash.off file never go away, apparently nothing is removed, so if I wrote my little magic parser to unset anything that the `basename $0 .off` files do then I'd be fine ... until I wasn't :-) This just seems like such a flimsy construct overall. It's lovely in many ways, but it isn't flexible enough to do what it's really trying to do.
