All they really do is prepend $IMAGE to every argument that begins in a / and 
pass it on to chmod or chown. This means two things. You can't use globs with 
them, which is sometimes really annoying. To know how to use them, you need to 
know how to use chmod and chown. Therefore you might as well just use chown 
and chmod directly just like we use rm, rmdir, find, sed etc. directly.

Unless someone has a better idea for making them actually useful, I suggest we 
ban them in exheres-0 and convert everything to using edo chmod or edo chown.

Opinions?
