You did not indeed make any claims about the Inferno shell, sorry that
I'm having too much fun being sarcastic to be accurate in reporting.

It was suggested (a) that rc was old and tired and (b) that the
Roger's Inferno shell was so superior as to be the obvious
replacement.  None of this from forsyth.  From those quarters, we had
perfectly sane responses to the effect that rc is neither old nor
tired and that it can in fact be improved in small ways without
bringing the universe on the verge of collapse.

I think so, too.
