Thanks, Uwe
Yes, that was evil, but like other evil practices, it worked for many R

Replacing base functionality is bad practice, since some packages may
rely on the actual functionality from base. Why not provide such
functions in a private package that masks the base functionality for
your interactive work only (and keeps base clean to be used by other
packages).
Finally, you can load that package in your startup code.
Best,
