Understood. Please, don't get me wrong -- I'm not an anti-Bashist, by

actually). Much less was I trying to criticize you, who provided that
nifty script in the first place.
Just trying to raise awareness about (the few) shell variation idiosyncracies
I know about, to help making people's lives easier.
