4 But, hasn't anyone realized that bash is _broken_ if this file doesn't
5 exist? Quoting from the upstream-provided man page, "When an
6 interactive shell that is not a login shell is started, bash reads and
7 executes commands from ~/.bashrc, if that file exists." Is that really
8 the intention here? To break upstream-defined behavior?
