   Ah yes, features.  What would we do without them?  Probably get more
work done, instead of endlessly tweaking our environments to no useful end.

   I probably have the most complicated initialization scripts that anyone
has ever devised (if you don't believe me, email me and we can arrange to
compare).  One of these days, when I come to my senses, I'll switch to rc
and use it vanilla.

   Features?  You need features like you need poison ivy.
