Ah, but don't all of these shells (and others) run scripts via the
Bourne shell (except for the dodgy and almost-undocumented fudge of
having the first line start with a '#' or '#!/bin/csh etc etc to force
use of the C shell.  How many of us *haven't* been caught by this,
prettifying a working shell script by adding header comments, then
finding it no longer works as the Bourne shell constructs get munged by
the wonderful Cshell :-( )
