Synopsis: patch to prevent head'ing directories

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: schweikh
State-Changed-When: Thu Jun 14 06:11:18 PDT 2001
State-Changed-Why: 
We think that it's better to stick to the WYGIWYAF principle
(what you get is what you asked for). As bde points out,
why should "tail /" not do the same thing as "cat / | tail"?
