An interesting side effect of this proposal to make sensible file names is that a hack I use to prevent "rm -rf *" from deleting everything won't work. I keep a file named "-i" in / so if I accidentally try to rm everything, it will go into interactive mode and stop me. Of course, I think that isn't a great loss if it fixes other things.
