I would as well, since my code is written written in bash and that |
| 14 |
would make it easier on me. I had tried to do it that way before, |
| 15 |
but some folks suggested changing it to what it is now, although I |
| 16 |
really forget why. |

Only issue I can think of is that we'd have to be sure to pick key |
| 19 |
names that don't conflict with bash variables like UID and SHELL, which |
| 20 |
shouldn't really be that hard, so I'm sure there had to be some |
| 21 |
stronger reason to not make it shell variables... I'll dig through logs |
| 22 |
and try to figure out what it was. |
