These aliases are expanded in any position in the command line, meaning you can use them even at theend of the command you've typed. Examples:
Quickly pipe to less:```zsh$ ls -l /var/log L# will run
$ ls -l /var/log | less```Silences stderr output:```zsh$ find . -type f NE# will run
$ find . -type f 2>/dev/null```

## File extension aliases
