Length of my shell aliases

I knew I liked to make my shell aliases short, but I wanted some statistics (FSVO “statistics”). With a simple pipe:

  % alias | sed -e 's/^alias //;s/=.*//;s/././g' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn
       27 ....
       25 ...
       20 ..
       12 .
       11 .....
        7 ......
        6 ........
        4 .........
        2 .............
        2 .......
        1 ...................

This means 2-4 character aliases are the most common (surprise, surprise), followed by 1-character aliases, of which I have (oh god) 12.

That’s 117 aliases total...
