number 29 is also a good one: don't ever add an alias
for "unlink" (written by someone who have never ever
read the POSIX or ANSI C standards ;-)
:::
btw, Python's remove/unlink implementation is slightly
broken -- they both map to unlink, but that's not the
right way to do it:
from SUSv2:
int remove(const char *path);
If path does not name a directory, remove(path)
is equivalent to unlink(path).
If path names a directory, remove(path) is equi-
valent to rmdir(path).
should I fix this?
