That's actually quite compelling to me. I'd be just in favour of some kind
of `lazy evaluation' (if some script needs to be changed, put in getflags;
ditto for new ones.) And I admit that if one is really tght pressed on space
(which might still happen nowadays, if not nearly as often than a couple of
years ago) it won't really matter havin to put in some effort to customise
what's in /bin/rc. I'm still amused by the argument that getflags is faster,
though.
