...I'm slightly embarrassed to admit that I've got the old history
in my binds before the new one, so I didn't notice I was using the
old one.
I can reproduce this.
Relatedly -- one thing I've repeatedly found myself wanting in
awk is a way to say "give me all text between fields $A..$B,
without modification" so, for example:
label <and some file path with tabs, spaces, and other junk>
would be easy to handle; something like:
map[$1] = $2..$NF
maybe someone better at awk than me knows a clean way to do this already?
should we add this to our awk?
