1. Pass.
2. Bash.
3. Possibly. I am not an expert in this stuff. 

I see that I have them defined as functions in .bash_profile. (I had to 
go and look, because it's probably a decade since I set this stuff up 
and I don't look at it often.) But I *do* want them exported to scripts 
- my own scripts that I use from time to time. I don't just want them 
confined to my interactive shell. There's probably no easy answer; I 
recognize that my ingrained ways of working may be "out-of-step" with 
what "everybody else" does, so I'm prepared to change the default if 
people think that that is the right thing to do. 

Other people's views?
