x. Instead of command_ in bash TemplateYeah, after more than two weeks coding on stuff using command_ instead
of the x_ original command function identifier prefix in my bash
projects I’m shaking my head wondering what I was thinking. But while
going back to x_ I decided to try x. since I have that for CONFIG
accessor functions already (x.cast.dir.pending).
I checked the Internet and using dots is fully supported in bash (and
always has been). The only annoyance is clearly the bash Vim syntax
defaults to the same POSIX restrictions which don’t allow it. Fuck that.
I just edited /usr/share/vim/vim82/syntax/sh.vim to add . anywhere
that it should have been allowed. This is a super annoying Vim bug, but
easily overcome.
So from now on x. in any code I write means that the function is
‘exported’.
