Comment:
The easiest way to change the name of an executable on a proper OS (and
filesystem) is to simply create a hard link and call/execute the synonym
instead. (Soft links work at least partially.)
IMHO the main purpose of doing so would be to allow users to better
'''see''' Sage instances in `top`, `ps` etc.
