I am not much of a bash guy so it took me a moment to understand what this was doing.

Too bad I have to read so many man pages before I get to bash or sh.

    Well, bash should show up quickly enough. But yeah.

    I'm also no longer much of a bash guy. Back when I was my scripts were a lot simpler, and broke in weird ways a lot more. And every time I picked up a new defensive habit, my bash became a little bit uglier, and I thought to myself "maybe I should just do this in Python".

    But this script would be a lot longer in Python.
