-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to Jim Meyering on 12/22/2008 10:57 AM: >>> It would be possible to add a conditional check, where if POSIXLY_CORRECT >>> is not defined in the environment and a filter app is started with a tty >>> as stdin and stderr (ie. the same criteria for what POSIX requires bash to >>> use for whether a shell is interactive), then we issue a warning to >>> stderr. Normally, we don't like adding additional uses of >>> POSIXLY_CORRECT, but this particular idea may help stave off confusion.

And even though I proposed the idea, I'm not that much of a fan of it myself; I guess that means we won't be changing anything. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
