Ezra,

I think this is a great idea and will prove very useful, I would
definitely use it.

I especially like your great use of method_missing.

I do however forsee a problem with the current idea regarding calls
like ln_nfs for ln -nfs.

The issue I see here is with commands like:
  mongrel_rails
  mongrel_cluster
  mysqld_safe
  mysql_*
  etc...

As for how to fix this nicely... I'm not sure yet but I see three
possibilities:
1. Use two underscores
2. Grab the last part of the underscore
3. Use ! at the end to indicate that parameters are intended

Problem with 1 is, well, it's ugly! It is however functional and it
would be clear what was meant by it
Problem with 2 is better except for if you call a command with no
arguments
Not sure there is much of an issue with 3 unless you intend on using !
in other places

I'll be monitoring this thread, I'd love to help out here.

Thanks for the great work!
