For interactive use it would probably be the best to provide the
functions in one file and source it in your shell. This way it is much
easier to modify than all those files. This bash snippet should roughly do the
same:
#!/bin/bash
declare -A base
base[b]=2
base[o]=8
base[d]=10
base[h]=16
for i in "${!base[@]}"
do
for o in "${!base[@]}"
do
source <(echo \
"function ${i}2${o} { \
echo "obase=${base[$o]};ibase=${base[$i]}; \$@\" | bc; }"\
)
done
done

I'm not sure the length is the relevant issue. A truly brilliant simplification of a useful task into a one-liner might be very useful. But these are just completely absurd. > [wiki] should be explicit about it? I'm not sure any edit is needed.

[aur-general] Is it OK to submit a package that is a dozen of one-line scripts?
Is it OK to submit a package that is a dozen of one-line scripts, like https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/b2b/ -> https://github.com/iorbitearth/b2b/tree/master/scripts ? If it's frowned upon, maybe https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_packaging_standards should be explicit about it?
