What’s wrong with removing the commands and adding shell aliases instead? That sounds perfectly reasonable to me.
eg. In bash, they can be expressed as:
alias fgrep=grep -F
alias egrep=egrep -E
This sounds like a push for purity - similar to what happened in Python 3 with the move from print “xyz” (special keyword) to print(“xyz”) (standard function).
The new function requires three additional keystrokes every time it is used.
