Those who used it, used it for a reason. Do you want to duplicated the
prompt?

Or force anybody who used 'vm-goodbye' to use 'app/vm/goodbye' ?

But now you end up with exactly the same problem.


If all you're after is the duplication, you can simply 'cp vm-goodbye
test-goodbye' .

Not only to the code base. Also to the prompt sets.
