number 29 is also a good one: don't ever add an alias
for "unlink" (written by someone who have never ever
read the POSIX or ANSI C standards ;-)

:::

btw, Python's remove/unlink implementation is slightly
broken -- they both map to unlink, but that's not the
right way to do it:

from SUSv2:

    int remove(const char *path);

    If path does not name a directory, remove(path)
    is equivalent to unlink(path). 

    If path names a directory, remove(path) is equi-
    valent to rmdir(path). 

should I fix this?
