...versus posix-only:
---snip---
while true
do
if $foo
then
cat > foo << EOF
bar
blah
EOF
fi
done
---snap---
there are no technical advantages of the non-posix one over the
posix-only one. it is only a slight cosmetical improvement. and just for
that alone i don't think makes it worth depending on bash or dash. also,
it's not that we do that in lb that often anyway.
thanks for your suggestion though.
