> I just wanted the shell, not the whole thing

You should post it to suckless. I recall a thread years ago discussing what

the ‘official’ shell of the suckless project ought to be. Rc went completely

unmentioned for at least about half of the thread, although they can’t

possibly have been unaware of it... They either want to avoid p9p as a

dependency, or else can’t live without the usual interactive features

of Linux shells.

Now they have no excuse.

As long as we’re discussing Linux stuff in shells, I think the new shell

mpsh[1] has a neat way to set prompt, neat because the mechanism

can also be used to do those variables like OLDPWD that /bin/bash has

built-in knowledge of.

(I wonder what the security implications might be.)
