Yes, that would work too.  The only problem for me is so often, I do a
"rm -fr *" that I might give that suggestion to someone and forget to
include the *.orig; ooops, all his files would be gone:).

I noticed you had a Cap R there instead of normal r.  Is that
intentional? I thought lower case r is used for recursive deletes.
That's what I use all the time for my recursive deletes.
