So Gentoo's portage requires bash (not just bash, but bash 3.x), and I'm
trying to get it to work with busybox. At least the following would need to
be done to get hush to act as something like a bash replacement:
1) Allow "bash" alias to call hush, so #!/bin/bash to redirect to hush.
2) Accept (ignore) the keyword "function" before shell function definitions,
ala "function blah()".
3) Use "source" as a synonym for "." when including files.
4) Accept $[1+2] as a synonym for $((1+2))
5) Curly bracket support: one/{two,three,four}
6) <(command) and >(command) support.
7) The =~ regex operator. (Probably a config option.)
I can send more as I find 'em...
