sure, but it'd be less confusing to just make it a new command. you could add features like invoking lsblk with a sensible set of flags.


Except the whole point of the wrapper is to protect people who are ignorant of alternatives from overwriting their main system drive by carelessly typing /dev/sda when they mean /dev/sdb on their local system. So making a new command and socializing it doesn't actually improve the situation at all.


When it's a new command it doesn't solve the problem of newbies and 3 decades of old tutorials, which was the comment that started this thread.
