I'm not sure what you mean by needing trailing space aliases for common xargs options, but I'm going to take that as a warning of dragons lurking in that direction and avoid it. | Sadly, xargs is one of the cases where shell functions won't help | (xargs doesn't execute the shell function).

OK, I'll keep that one in mind -- wrapper scripts rather than aliases and functions.
