Sorry, somehow this got chopped.

Latest iteration, still convoluted:

    $ setq my-files ${listify *.jpg}
    $ (let ((i 0))
        (mapcar (lambda (x)
                  (eshell/mv x (format "%d.jpg" (cl-incf i))))
                my-files))

Eshell is lacking the ease with which commands, functions, and
executables can be mixed.  If I wanted to use “/usr/bin/mv”, I guess I
would need to wrap the call in another function, and I don’t even know
which one.
