That ought to make some debugging chores easier ... I was worried that
this would break the xtrace redirections test, but redirecions must be
considered "not completely in the shell."

} Ok. Tell me what you think of these. I can always remove some of the

} P.S.: If a day without a patch is like a day without sunshine, what

In the U.S. there's a saying, "A hundred and ten degrees in the shade."
(Farenheit, that is.  "43 degrees ..." doesn't have the same oomph.)

Of course, with an 8000+ -line patch right behind it ....
