This should have just been done a week ago when it was proposed.
There's no reason for you to jump through hoops and have
to write obfuscated shell scripts to accomplish this.

Marcel, I'm not ranting at you, I'm just suprised that upon

Now can we end the bikeshed and just use the fast and _READABLE_
