I think rshd is broken.

One of the things I like about rc is the absence of superfluous command
line options, no weird ${foo+_)()*&^$%&%=blah} and no obscure semantics.

I'd hate to see:

    $home/.rcrc is sourced it the first character in argv[0] is '-'
    or the -l' options is used, or fd 5 is a named pipe (on Wednesdays),
    or TIOCAREYOUANXTERM works and your window manager supports a predictive
    keyboard focus algorithm (with XAnothorFoulLibraryCall(3))...
