Couldn't you implement it approximately using

. Rc improves matters slightly with
lists of strings. It's still not enough for me. I make a lot of
mistakes in shell programming and strict type checking would catch
most of them. I'm not sure I would use a strictly typed shell
exclusively, but I would certainly like to have it avai
ram. If you want to give it some other
type then you need at least a casting mechanism. You probably
also want a splitting mechanism, with a regular expression for
the field separator.

The underlying problem is that sam is simply not line-oriented.
If you're doing things with a file which is naturally thought
of a series of lines then ed is usually better than sam -d.
