I don't buy this.  You can have a very simple path and still not remember
what a command is called.  I typed venti/^F the other day and was
annoyed that I didn't get a list of the venti programs.  So I typed
^U/bin/venti/^F and did get my list.  But there's a difference between
clean and easy to remember.
