Thanks for this piece of information! I'm rather cautious when it comes
to these shell modes of operation. I think I'm understanding it
reasonably well now, but have been surprised about behaviour in the
past.

I note the Bash Reference Manual says:

| For almost every purpose, shell functions are preferred over aliases.

This use-case sounds like the "almost" bit :-).

Cheers,

Peter.
