This seems to be a nice case of EIBTI to me.
I would rather call that a default behavior, otherwise every function with arguments that have default values would be nice cases of EIBTI.
If a default value is there, it should be obvious. In this case, my feeling was that it wasn't, but thinking about it I don't really see another default, so +0.
Agreed, nobody writes "dir ." or "ls .", the implicit argument is obvious.
Well, the interactive shell shouldn't be considered a programming language, and even if you do, it's hardly Pythonic :)
Ah, but in unix the interactive shell _is_ a programming language. :) But no, it isn't very pythonic, in many areas. --David
