Ah, crap. Spent all my time finding URL for Shell Check.
A bonus short on bash built-ins, how to enable & disable them. i.e. uname.
He's discussed builtin vs external before. Most people (myself at least) gives very little thought to such things. But it's neat to enable / disable them, but why is an open question. Less resource usage, better speed?

Sure is. I'm now sad looking at its reporting on some of my larger bash completion scripts. My take-away: I love bash and I hate bash. It's maybe too damned complicated. zsh is looking nice, not that it's less complex, just... better Also, Shell Check is pretty cool. Bonus:
Can You Write A Web Server in PURE BASH?! (no socat, no netcat, no external tools)
