 anything longer than a screenful shouldn't be written in shell ...

Whence cometh this religion?  I've heard of a modularity principle
wherein no one function, in any language, ought to be longer than a
page, but what's special about shell that warrants such a further
restriction?

BTW, to adherents of the mentioned religion, this:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/ports-mgmt/portmaster/files/Attic/portmaster.sh.in?rev=2.32;content-type=text/plain
-- at just under 3600 lines -- is likely one of the greater heresies
around :)

Seems to me it might depend on what one means by non-standard.

I can envision cases in which increasing the number of context lines
would result in the patch being more robust WRT applying correctly
to a recipient's version that might be a bit different than the one
against which it was created.

OTOH one most likely does not want to create a patch with -b unless
the apply tool also supports such and there is a way to communicate
to the apply tool that -b was used in creating the patch.
