| I like the 10th Edition method of putting a special variable in the
| environment of the invoked shell (REMOTE= or REMOTEHOST=otherhost or
| something like that).
That seems like a good idea, regardless.
But in order to use it, the shell has to be prepared to source some file
when it sees this variable (and then presumably delete the variable).
For rc, that would be .rcrc? so the effect would be similar to forcing
a "login" shell?
