Nice example. I enjoy reading a useful one-liner here.
The "$[]" caught my eye, as it has come up a few times on
the bash list. For anyone unfamiliar, it's an older,
deprecated form of arithmetic expansion, i.e.: "$(())".
As bash maintainer Chet Ramey said of "$[]" in one of the
more recent threads¹:
I probably won't remove it, but nobody should use it in
new code.
Old habits... I'm sure. ;)
