Ezra,

I appreciate that the method_missing idea has a certain appeal to it,
but does it really save that much time for the aggravation it might
cause?

I don't see a vast saving between

sh.rm_rf "fred"

and

sh.rm "-rf fred"

Particularly when you have long strings of options, some of which have
parameters and some that do not.

The second system is guaranteed to work regardless of whether the
options are '-' options, '--' long options or even some horrific
mutation ported from Windows.

With respect, the underscore idea looks like a hack to me and I reckon
it'll cause more problems than it'll solve. Unix commands always give
the illusion of conformity and then you find the one you need doesn't
conform at all.
