Proposal: ln2

[mssalvatore]

The argument order for the ln command is counterintuitive and difficult to remember. ln2 provides a more intuitive syntax.

$ ln -s my_link \> my_file

I myself have to remember whether source or destination is given as first/second argument (although after I look up the correct way, it suddenly seems..almost intuitive ;)

Maybe some better idea would be either to change the syntax completely or to change (with backward compatibility of course) the command's syntax or the names of it's flags entirely?

Something like...(just for demo.):

$ linkfrom [-]-s[ymbolic...could be falsely remembered as "static" as well] destinationfile sourcefile [position of link and destination are swapped]

$ linkto -s destinationfile sourcefile

One more option which I personally prefer with such commands I tend to forget the exactly syntax, would be to create some (permanent) alias(es) that perfectly fit to one's memory, language-logic and personal preferences.
