Your method is great for you. =] My method works great for me because I have
extra knowledge -- my /etc/profile is an automatically generated file, so
its syntax is *extremely* simple. I'm not under the mistaken impression that
its remotely general, hence my not posting it. However, while your script is
a great resource for people fighting this problem, I'm not sure it belongs
in the distribution... It could potentially be cleaned up into a helper
function to convert specific bits of bash -> fish? *shrug* Just thinking
aloud.
