I apologize. I didn't intend to start an argument, or for it to sound 
like bickering.

 I know all of these decisions have many constraints that govern them. I 
was more curious to hear the decision process that led to this.

In my experience the two shells are pretty interchangable, and though I 
don't really know the differences, I know that some exist. I was looking 
to learn more about what might have been in bash that attracted 
development to it.

Thank you for this script too. It was even more educational.
