From an installed Drupal instance, if you type drush dl then enter, drupal core will be downloaded to the sites/all/modules/(contrib) directory.

This creates issues with function names being redeclared and the paths in the system table being updated and causes other confusion.

Could the default for drush dl possibly point to the drush help dl page? or die with a usage error?

I thought we disallowed downloading drupal into a running drupal site. we should ... I don't think making the argument required helps the problem enough.
