POSIX explicitly requires that the shell is unable to reset
SIGPIPE back to SIG_DFL if it was inherited ignored (try it - you CANNOT
use the 'trap' command to undo an inherited ignored SIGPIPE, even though
it can be used to undo signals ignored locally). It is generally
considered bad practice to l
entally letting grep inherit the ignored SIGPIPE?
When SIGPIPE is not ignored, grep's failure to write to a pipe causes
termination before the failed write completes; but when it is ignored,
grep sees EPIPE from the failed write and reports that.

windows alt-sequence codepoint generation than they are with Linux
alt-keypress bindings, and that less than 1% of the population would
even notice the difference.
