Don't know how you are going to find about "everyone", but I, for one,
think that modifying the established tool's behavior in the proposed
manner is an utterly bad idea.

Use shell aliases, functions and scripts wrapped around the primary
tool to get the behavior you like -- let others stick with their
established habits and wrappers.

Improving the documentation would be good, OTOH.
