} You might with to check the documentation for the stat module, which

Yes, I did. The actual string "(H)ash" isn't used any more, but the
name of the argument for -H is still "hash".
} `stat -A' was already taken. For assigning to an Array.
Yes, and is so because of `set -A', I imagine (hence the Subject). My
point is not that you should have chosen -A for `stat', but that there
really isn't *any* option letter that can be the same for all of `set',
`typeset' and any third command you might name.

} HAND (and no, the first two letters of that are just coincidence).
Um, HAND are not lowercase letters ... and BSD `ls' does use -A. ;->
(My answer would be e j v y, but I had to think about it for too long.)
