Hi.  
	It's nice that bash supports csh-style bang interpretation.
It is not so nice that it supports it inside of single quoted strings.
I suggest for an incompatability with csh in favor of greater
compatability with sh.  Double quotes evaluate their contents, not
single quotes, right?  At least in an ideal world it works that way :-)
