While we're at it, what do you think about changing the moved file from
/bin/.foo-real into /bin/.real/foo, or maybe it would have to go up a
directory and go into /.bin-real/foo. That would mean all these dot
files wouldn't pollute PATH and appear in things like bemenu, or in
window titles. Also pkill should be able to kill correctly based on the
name. Would it break more things somehow?
