(yeah, i know there's a new version. I can't keep up anymore, and I
don't think this was affected in the last release)
** What was I trying to do:
I was trying to remove a directory. Normally, I just use `rm -rf',
because that what I normally do, but Jupiter is in the Nth House, so
I decided to use rmdir instead.
** What happened?
Now, it turns out that there were some junk dotfiles in the dir, so
I should have just used rm, but this is what happened instead:
; rmdir depeche_mode
rmdir: depeche_mode: Object is remote
** What should have happened.
I should have gotten a more useful error message. (like `Jupiter is
in the Nth House tonight, so Weird Things are happening' or
`Directory not empty' or something.)
