Of course not. :o)
Bourne Shell compatibles (like bash and ksh) should do, C Shell uses
"unalias *", zsh uses "unalias -m \*", ...
"unalias rm"
and equivalent for each and every command you use should do the trick on
all of them. OTOH, [0] says "sh" doesn't support aliases at all, so you
might break plain old Bourne Shell compatibility.(?)
I think /bin/rm does quite a good job as a default, is it really worth
replacing? (Question to others, not Philip...)
