What does a shell need to be useful:
* tab completion
* Can this be done simply?
* Just expanding the $PATH?
* Does this really need plugins?
* Maybe some argument to the alias command so this function is run for
tab completion?
* ugly POSIX style
* Really?
* rc style?
* Something better?
* backwards compatibility?
* Wouldn't be busybox ash enough for this?
* basic job handling stuff and all the piping
For now busybox ash is enough for all of this.
Sincerely,
Christoph Lohmann
