: Is this better :-)?  It's not future-proof.  I'd prefer `chflags nouflags'.

Any objections to chflags nouflags going into the tree, modulo
problems with the actual code that does it?

I'd also like to have a new flag to rm.  -F.  One -F will be
	chflags nouflags foo ; rm -f foo
while two -F will be
	chflags 0 foo ; rm -f foo

This is mostly for convenience, since otherwise I have to uglify the
rc scripts with chflags.

Comments on this idea as well?  I've gotten antipathy in the past when
I've asked.
