   NOTE that what you're advocating is More And More
   COMPLICATED ... work-arounds for work-arounds.

   Is THIS what we WANT ??? Is this GOOD ???

   Yea, yea, SOME Linux/Unix people advocate
   super-complicated ... great for their egos.
   Super-twisted scripts and command sets.

   Sorry, NO ... shouldn't BE like that.

   Apologies, but this is sort of existential
   level stuff. Keep it sane and easily
   comprehensible OR ELSE.

   At SOME point Winders becomes preferable.
   Horror yes, but ...........
