That whole final patch simultaneously impresses and nauseates me. Your commit message says "no attempt is made at properly parsing shell code", but we come pretty darn close. I almost wonder if we'd be better off just parsing some heuristic subset and making sure (via review or linting) that our tests conform. Another option is to not enable this slightly-more-dangerous linting by default. But that would probably rob it of its usefulness, since it would just fall to some brave soul to later crank up the linting and fix everybody else's mistakes. -Peff
