Which is... what?
Perhaps what you should be doing instead is creating a symlink named
/usr/local/bin/raku which points to your /opt/whatever/raku program.
That's how third-party (or local) programs that don't install in
/usr/local are typically handled.
Hm, I'll think about that. It's a good question for the man who maintains the third party Debian package for Raku.

No idea. Try it and see? Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "bashism"
here, but good luck trying to decipher the sudoers(5) man page to see
what's allowed and what isn't.
Yes, that was part of my reference to doc confusion in the original post.
"bashism" is my snarky reference to my favorite shell (ugh, I used to love cshell for some dumb reason, oh yeah, it was the default shell on Sun OS and SGI Irix back in the day).
Thanks for good ideas, Greg.
