The GNU Coding Standards frown on such practices:
Please don't make the behavior of a utility depend on the name used to
invoke it. It is useful sometimes to make a link to a utility with a
different name, and that should not change what it does. Thus, if you
make 'foo' a link to 'ls', the program should behave the same regardless
of which of those names is used to invoke it.
