This is VERY DANGEROUS on a shared system if you may have malicous
users (or ones that want to play jokes on you)!

Somebody can say "Hey, look at what I have in my directory FOO." and
you'd "cd ~user/foo" and do "ls".  But if what he had in that directory
was an executable file called "ls", THAT'S the one you run and it
might do something really nasty (like "rm -rf ~").
