First, thanks for not top posting.  This is much better.

  | no.  a discussion thread can have multiple points.

Of course, but that is not what I meant.   By "the point"
I did not mean the point of the thread as such (as this
would not be it, as the original question needed a different
answer) but when it gets to "how to do this" the point is
to provide a reasonable answer.

  | since the bash FAQ is dismissing a valuable technique,
  | one that ought to be more widely adopted.

That is where we disagree.   I don't think it is valuable
at all, and shouldn't be adopted at all.   That is, I think
the FAQ is correct.

And we know that you disagree with that, there is no need
to repeat it over and over.
