Yes, that's why I edited my original "please consider using" to "can't help mentioning" :) I recalled that you had mentioned dash in one of your reviews (*), I checked your reply to this v3 03/11 and saw that it wasn't it -- here you'd written "Since you are using bash" so I edited the above paragraph.
