in reply to Aliasing built-in Functions

This question has come up before: Aliasing a builtin?

In that thread, the OP admitted that the real purpose for aliasing a built-in function was as an aid in creating obfuscated code. It sounds a bit like that is your goal as well (or maybe you're just striving for poetry)? Obviously an admirable pursuit, but... well, have fun with that.

    Indeed, I was just learning about code filtering and wanted to start some poetry.
    I wonder how it actually looks like to read lots of OO-code where objects get damned and cursed.
    Or where filehandles do not get gently closed but shutuped.
    Imagine we would go fishing if we mean to grep something.
    Aliasing builtins is for fun (and only that).
