From '(standards) User Interfaces':
Please don't make the behavior of a utility depend on the name used to
invoke it. It is useful sometimes to make a link to a utility with a
different name, and that should not change what it does.
Instead, use a run time option or a compilation switch or both to
select among the alternate behaviors.
