They should've made aliases to other commmand names, e.g. rmi, mvi, irm,
imv.

Bill had it right in mentioning that it's an alias in the shell
initialization scripts.  You can change it there and it will change it for
all shells just as it's, IMHO, currently incorrectly aliasing 'rm' to 'rm
-i', etc.

If you're using this in scripts, then you should use the '-f' option anyway.
