Presumably we're not the only one who has to deal with this issue,

Let's say I'm writing a bash script. It will make 5 calls. Three of
the calls are expected to return zero on success, one is expected to
return 1 on success, and one whose return code I don't care about.
Here's this script written with set -e:

call1

call3 || ret=$?

So the fact of the matter is that turning off "set -e" is a very large

"set -e" may provide some benefit, or it may just be a personal
preference, but in any event it guides some pretty fundamental
