thanks for sharing this very good news. I didn't know about the Austin
Group either so you made my day.
do you know a way to file a request to them? I really would like to
suggest the behavior of most of the shells to be adopted as a POSIX
behavior: no need to write a counpound expression expression to declare
a function so
ll() ls -l "$@"
would be the same as
ll() { ls -l "$@" }
so maybe people would stop using alias to to such things and then
complain when they discover they don't understand what alias is like in
assert() {
echo "I will $*"
"$@"
}
which fails with aliases
regards
