So, if I continuously want to add and remove functions within one shell (running hypothetically forever), do I have to 'manually' delete those empty left-behind files? --- that is, not only use

rm /env/'fn#name_that_I _don't_need' ?

No.

Well... that's an answer, but not very constructive indeed. When do those files dissapear?
R.

When the namespace disappears.

You can ignore the file even being there. There is a difference between the file and how the program uses them. If the program (rc) doesn't have a function given a name but /env does, it makes no difference. rc will overwrite the file when you redefine the function.
