you might be right. but i'm not sure.
is there a good argument for having 'echo fu' return an error, but
'echo -n fu' work?
also, when reading from such a file, it's usually problematic not to
have a newline for shell scripts while it is much easier to remove
an extra newline in c. globbing doesn't do the right thing without
newlines; you have to write a for loop instead.
what case am i missing?
