Not only these, but all other commands - with the inglorious exception
of the "sleep" command (but hey - there must be a bad example
somewhere, right? ;-)

There are two ways of constructing a software design. One way  is  to
make  it  so  simple that there are obviously no deficiencies and the
other is to make it so complicated that there are  no  obvious  defi-
ciencies.                             - Charles Anthony Richard Hoare
