If my judgemental wording has offended the author on the other list,
then I will admit to careless use of language. The out-of-the-blue shot
across my bow from David, using that awkwardly and unproductively
constructed use case looked like a deliberate straw man attack, coming
hot on the heels of a deprecation attempt. Where a shell provides syntax
alternatives, all still documented and supported, it may be perceived as
unwelcoming and unproductive to spontaneously hound one usage in favour
of one's own bias. Still, it would be better if my response had been more
sanguine.

P.S. s/publically/publicly   (Yep, spellchecking in Vim in Mutt is OK
                              with that. Caveat: I use a British
                              dictionary. Haven't checked for possible USA
                              divergent spelling.)
