Could you be so kind as to give a one-sentence summary what the
benefits over using a shell script would be?  I think this work has
started before I joined the list, and I'd be interested in the
motivation for it.  In general, I find shell scripts more pleasant for
hacking on than C code, and there is no long-term plan to replace all
of them, is there?  So unless there is some issue that can't be
addressed reliably or efficiently by reverting to other commands for
everything involving bulk processing, I am not really happy to see
shell scripts replaced.

Thanks,
