I do not expect me to be editing the awk script buried inside a shell string literal myself, so it is more or less a "meh" to me, but once people start iterating, they may find it irritating that their favourite editor do not help them with its "awk" mode while editing the script. Once that happens, they may split the script out themselves. Before that, I do not deeply care ;-) Thanks.
