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.
