Comment:
I don't think this is necessary. We never use echo with flags. We do
used ECHO which is defined as /bin/echo which is defined in the functions.
The 'expensive' part is pretty much a non-starter. On a slow machine, how
expensive is it (in microseconds)?
I don't know of any distros that don't use echo, but I only checked RH and
Ubuntu.
Recommend closing as works for me, but I'll leave it open for other
comments.
