i can answer that one easily. that's why it's called mash rather than "random marketting name". the intention was to replace plan9 rc with a shell that was maintainable and had loadable modules. i wrote it in limbo to show it works, damned well. the first requirement was a make loadable. it's not built into mash, it's loadable. a few pages of code that uses the shell rather than mk's builtin shell like stuff.
