I think a shell has some advantages as an introduction to programming

Is this correct? I get a different behavior with Fish 2.2.0:

Of course, you can write a bookmark function that works on any file,

I think it would be useful to be able to type "echo $fish-" and
see completions for "fish_color_command" etc. if there is no match for

read and change them outside Fish, even when Fish is not running.
That's conceptually simpler, a form of init file. It also seems to me
technically simpler to i
