Oh no, definitely not. If I don't understand what it is doing then I don't put in in my command line. That's a recipe for disaster.

What if you now understand what it's doing (jogged your memory) and its a long command?

Then you take the lessons you need from the line and encode them in a properly formatted script.

A long command is almost never a good answer.

Very rarely does a command line example map one to one with what I want to accomplish anyway. But also, I can't think of any "long" commands that I would need.
