Cutting out xargs does seem cleaner.

It's been a pleasure to see everyone's solutions. Maybe I should give
them all different names and put each one in ~/bin, so that I have 5x
the odds of remembering what I called it. :-)

I tend to stick things like this in ~/.bashrc, because I sync several dotfiles across computers, and that's one of them. I just called this one "newestfiles", so I can invoke it with:

ÂÂÂ newestfiles .

to get output related to the cwd. Any comments on best practices here? Is it bad form to junk up one's bashrc with custom functions?
