Good points all over -- I envy your clarity.

To drive home Greg's point about naming conventions a bit
more: bash (in general, shells) have very little protection
for mis-naming variables (you don' have to declare them,
they have dynamic, not lexical bindings, etc.).

That's why naming conventions are more important there.

In shells, there's more: shell variables and environment
variables (those you "export") are quite different beasts,
so making them visually differentiable is the more important.

See, a programming language is a communication tool. You
talk to other people with it. Observing conventions is
part of a language.

Cheers
