Caution is one thing, but expecting reasonable behavior from
a unix shell is reasonable, given that you could easily
have shell scripts and interactive operations that have
worked unchanged for 25 years across wildly different
machines.  Isn't that why we like unix-like systems and
their bourne-like shells?
