Just typing alias shows all of my aliases. I used to use them more and remember
you can even set them up non-persistently on the fly. In situations like that I
just use command history though.
I've a lousy memory for trivialities, which encompasses all of computer
science, so I grep my command history file a lot for the syntax of commands I
know I've issued, but cannot remember.
