 ||Anyway: back to what the shell should be doing. You cannot put a ';' \

..i want to reiterate the relation to what "human logic" expects.
Now, the entire scene is often on the brainfuck (programming
language) side, nonetheless i, and the way all tested ISO
C compilers, and dash, and my evaluator do it, would hope in the
sense of "what comes natural"ly, that my point of view counts as
what "human logic" would expect.
