Great! I will apply this when I'm able to test (~6 or 7 hours or so), but one thing I want to note: On 12/11/06, Dan McGee <dpmcgee@gmail.com> wrote:
* Changes use of `` and $() to be a bit more consistent- `` are used wherever possible.
Technically `` is *almost* deprecated. It's not likely a new XCU will be released anytime soon (silly standards organizations taking 10+ years to do things, heh), so it is safe to use. The current verbage is that `` will be deprecated in the next XCU spec, thus meaning it will be around 20 years before it's fully removed. $() has far simpler grammer rules and easier nesting. (i.e. according to the spec, ` is allowed to end at word boundries in cases like: echo "`date hello" - no matching `, so it assumes `date`. I think only 1 shell actually does this, but it's still allowed... nasty stuff, that). While it's unimportant, I would prefer this portion to go the other way, and use $() uniformly instead of ``.
