The original post was about learning shell scripting.  If you want to 
write *portable* shell code, it's important to know the differences 
between bash and a "real" (aka POSIX) shell that's available everywhere.

We put a lot of thought into our defaults.  We like them.  If we
didn't, we would have made something else be the default.  So keep
your cotton-pickin' hands off our defaults.  Don't touch.  Consider
them mandatory.  "Mandatory defaults" has a nice ring to it.
