Never heard of it.  But thanks for the link.  I forget that shells 
aren't 'real' languages.
Nuts, I'm even getting used to not declaring variables.  As Bart once 
said, shells are
a glue for various command line operations.

I wouldn't, unless there was some sort of wonderful reason to, which is 
what I'm asking.

Yeah, I ran my own tests and it seems so.  One might think that this 
would be some sort of
localization mechanism, but it seems not to be the case.  Ok, thanks 
Kurtis, I'll not
try any such thing.  It seems very strange that it's even legal.
