The issue I see is that, to be worthwile, such commands should be worthy 
replacements for their unix equivalents.  You've already encountered 
problems with mv.  "tla rm" only works on files with explicit IDs, which 
is a bloody pain.  It also doesn't support -R.

I don't want to see a bunch of half-assed implementations of unix 
commands, so until someone starts working on improved versions of the 
ones we've already got, I don't want to be adding new ones.

There's also the issue that new users consistently grumble about the 
number of commands, and this would add more.

If it really bugs ya, I'd suggest grabbing a tla wrapper and adding 
those commands to it.
