I have considerable trouble understanding why any rational person would
take the text quoted above as a reasoned argument about why we should
change the syntax of our sh in a way that decreases the portability of
shell scripts, rather than as a bunch of empty rhetoric.

I also am not sure whether I am to take the use of the word "bikeshed" as
some kind of magic invocation that is meant to cause me to idly nod my
head, pretend I agree with you, and then shut up.  Can you advise?  I do
not want to get it wrong...
