At 25 Sep 2001 it looks like Gary W. Swearingen composed:
swear->You might even consider always using ${} for ALL variable substitution.
swear->
swear->It's a little harder to type but easier to search for (fewer mis-finds,
swear->esp. with small names) and reduces incentive to follow tradition of
swear->using all caps for envars. It's debatable whether it's easier or harder
swear->to read, but more lower and mixed case probably helps readablity.
swear->
You can count on that. I spent a few good minutes just saying
"&#^$%@**" when I saw how easy that was. Thanks for the email.
