   My wife and I have for a long time had an inside joke:  "I can't
   understand
   it.  It must be Art."  I never thought I'd apply it to a shell
   script...

Please read the charter [?] for this group!  

I believe programming is an art... and if you program in sh, then
that can be an art too.

ps:  re: test "" && {} || {}
     I am not worried about the second command failing.
