At the prompt of your shell type:

# ls ?a_well_thought_out_substring_function_would_do_this_job*

I'm not sure I understand, but it sounds like you're just mocking me?

What did I do to deserve such a tone?  I'm claiming that the

function you suggest is an idiom composition of two ideas,

and have provided examples and arguments to support my

claim.

In turn I ask both you and John for examples where this is

not the case.  John did provide an example, though it was

in fact a composition.  You, on the other hand, are arguing

at the level of a 4 year old.

I can only assume I'm being trolled and will drop out of the

discussion now, which is a shame because there were some

interesting points to be made.
