Huh, what about bash arrays. Aren't they just great? What about a variable
modified in the loop dealing with a pipe? Nice thing, lot of fun.
Processing double quotation marks in the bodies of strings. Just delicious!
If there were Ada interpreter for Linux I would never use bash. But even
without it, each time I write a script I must later admit, that it would be
better and *quicker* to use a full-blown Ada program instead.
