People on these newsgroups often use phrases like "bash specific" as
synonyms for "Not strictly POSIX" (*), even though the bash feature under
discussion is also found in other shells.  In fact, many bash-isms,
including "coproc", came originally from ksh.  I'm sure Janis knows this.

The key difference between faith and science is that in science, evidence that
doesn't fit the theory tends to weaken the theory (that is, make it less likely to
be believed), whereas in faith, contrary evidence just makes faith stronger (on
the assumption that Satan is testing you - trying to make you abandon your faith).
