... but why should one ever remember crypted bash/zsh/ksh/... syntax and it's subtle differences _iff_ script languages like perl, python, _guarantee_ an abstraction level _plus_ simplifying all those tasks _plus_ adding syntactic sugar (in a _per_language_ and not _per_platform_) consistent manner?

i do honor the effort and i do honor being able to accomplish a lot of solutions w/ the most basic tools, _but_ i prefer to be able to move to solaris and not have to reinvent everything again

regards
