I think "zip" breaks this rule.

  That's because with zip (and tar, and other archivers) you can have multiple items to move to a destination archive. You can also do that with cp and mv if you need to, using `-t`. `cp -t .dotfiles/ .nanorc .bash*`. Generally more useful when you want to move a bunch of files around.

    The `...` in my post above was to indicate that. Zip does indeed break the 'rule', but this is not an excuse, cp and mv manage just fine with: in in in in [...] out Which is why I said the 'last' rather than 'second'.

  Zip is a DOS tool, so I’m not so surprised it’s not following Unix conventions...
