once again trying to remember why one would use [ vs [[ in bash
In case my previous tweet is interpreted as a discouragement to use bash's extensions, I want to go on record that I don't share that position.

in seriousness, though, if not vast portability, why write complex programs in sh? I’ve always been confused by people who use *bash*, if they’re going to discard some portability for sanity. I’d either write portable sh … or, preferably, just upgrade to Ruby or w/e.
