it's conventional to source it only once, and then rely on inherited

ls -ld /mnt/acme/* would be a better illustration, i think.
i guess that's because it's walking into mnt/acme/new,

i've thought in the past that perhaps the first write
to a file in mnt/acme/new should create the window,
rather than just walking to it.

fuse is probably just doing a stat of each file, as is

i don't think these two bits of rc should behave any differently:
% rc -c 'echo hello /fd/4' [4] /dev/cons
hello
% {echo hello /fd/4} [4] /dev/cons
/fd/4: rc: can't open: '/fd/4' inappropriate use of fd

generally, the correct answer is: don't do that.
it's better to treat subshells as if they exist
in a different scope, even if the environment
group isn't forked.
if you want to get values back from a script,
send them in its stdout.

Hello,
If I have an rc script and I don't specify any rfork in it, then the
namespace and the environment should be shared.
So, having an 'a' script
#!/bin/rc
a = hello
cd c #later on...
and a 'b' script:
#!/bin/rc
a
echo $a

the thing i think i'd miss most moving from limbo
is discriminated unions. what would a go-friendly
way of describing, say, a 9p message look like?
i suppose you could just type-switch, but then
you still lose the nice statically declared aspect of an
algebraic type.
cool. this is potentially a big deal if it works ok...

the environment variable size limit is set to 16300 bytes which
seems rather small; for instance it can break mkfiles for large projects.
might a patch specifying a larger size limit (e.g. 128K) be accepted?
yes.
for instance when there are a few thousand source files
and one wants to link them all.

I've been wondering for a while if there's some way to multiplex (if

that's what tee does.

So, basically, the way I see it is, grep proc gets an interrupt,

if it's ambiguous, then the tag should indeed be put on hold,

there's no way to get that right, either.
well, it's legal to send several flushes for the same

Yes, I now see yours and Roger Peppe's idea to build a regexps and then use
it.
That's true.
Only as I look at your code, not sure if it can stand possible spaces
at the beginning of a line, like
1 2 3
just change the regexp as
1 - 100 of 202 matches
