[Gllug] Query on Aliases

Hi
I have noticed on my machine (Mandrake  9 ) that an number of aliases are
defined as
      alias mv='mv -i'
I find this rather confusing and dangerous - if you get into the habit
of doing mv and assuming it has a -i you might get a nasty shock on
someone elses machine that doesnt have this defined.

If I define another alias based on mv it picks up the -i version.

How can I define an alias based on the vanilla mv (ie not -i)
