The reason I ask is because back when I used bash and something called rvm, all of my aliases proved to be a horrible wrench for their bash shell scripts.  So I’ve sorta sworn off of aliases but I’m wondering if that is imprudent.

If you are doing multiple commands I would do a function, but I wonder
what's the point of this when you can do: xargs -d '\n' $*
