    _______________________________________________________

Details:

It would be nice if tr could take multiple consecutive actions in a single
command. For example, instead of writing

  echo hello | tr h i | tr -s l | tr -d o     #result: iel

it would be nice to allow:

  echo hello | tr h i -s l -d o

where the operations are applied consecutively.


Thanks,

Richard
