Oh, don't get me started on the batch mode!  It is such a shame
that we can't yet provide a really reliable one, even with
*batch-exit-on-error*!!  I actually have a wishful thinking TODO
entry for v14.9 that mentions adding some kind of a user
accessible last-exit-status variable and also yet another command
prefix, something like "noexit" or so, in equal spirit to
nohup(1).  That is, we won't have something like

  set -e
  if ! false; then echo you _do_ see this; fi
  false || echo you do see this
  false
  echo nirvana
  set +e

but at least batch mode would gain some reliability in sofar that
user could control what stops evaluation and what not.
It is ever so surprising how long it takes to get this thing
going, even more so in respect to its size.  I mean, i do not work
_so_ much on it, but it surely is something like four plus hours
six days a week, and that for way over three years.  -> Pfffff!

Ciao, and a nice Sunday!
