"UNCLE!" I admit that it was a huge mistake here using the common "ll" alias
as an example. No it is not an RFC; yes it can usually be found aliased in
most .*rc files. Perhaps I should have considered my audience (OSX users
with 2 years experience?) and sent a 45 minute Microsoft X Powerpoint
presentation to demonstrate the labyrinthine process of the incredibly
sophisticated 3 day procedure of viewing the contents of a single directory
so that nobody will be so perplexed when I start with the Stephen Hawking
impressions. 

Here is a copy of a BSD .cshrc. Notice, BSD builds in an ll alias.
