Fairly often: I frequently rename or retire scripts in my per-user bin directory. Since bash is happy to switch this on in POSIX mode, why not do so by default? It's just another example of making something Just Work rather than inflict a minor annoyance on the user which can only be resolved by manual configuration (whose very existence escaped at least this individual). This is precisely the sort of problem that I regularly fix in my own systems and upstream, because in the big picture, it's just one of many. Is there a downside to making checkhash the default? -- http://rrt.sc3d.org
