>> Why not create a command wtf(1)? >> > there are really lot of good features that can be made in FreeBSD. > actually good, instead of that crap While this is certainly not the most important improvement that could be made (Fix the PRs!), the proposed wtf command could be useful. And, importantly, putting this functionality into a seperate utility is the correct way to do it. We don't want to add more complexity to the shell for several good reasons (bloat, possiblilty of bugs, slowness after every typo, not the Unix way[1], etc.).
