I think this obfuscation of the command is unneccessary, since the paths
are so short (you save 2 chars and in the keys you'll have to strike are
placed at worse positions) and it's also a bash-ism (which I don't mind
in general, but to do it for things as simple as this, the whole book
might as well be converted to l33t...)
