I want to do some shell trickery so that when a user enters a command like:
ls -l
the command is forwarded to another program as an argument. That is,
what actually gets executed is:
myprog "ls -l"

Thanks, that is a neat trick that I wasn't aware of, but "ls -l" was
just an example of one possible input. I want to forward every command
to my own program, not just "ls" commands.
An alias feature with wildcards or regular expressions (on the _left_
side of the alias definition) would do it, but bash doesn't have that
particular feature.
