Hi
One of unix's little traps is when you intended to move some files to a
directory but you mis-typed the destination directory and instead copied all
your files to a file created with the mistyped folder name as name. In fact
this file becomes a kind of a black-hole for all but the last listed files
This is made worse if you don't notice your error.
Is there any Zsh solution/warning to this ?
