"This works, though, only on ksh-like shells." Are you saying I have to verify the shell before running this? Hmm...

@jpaugh, the lists must be supported by the shell sourcing this code, which is not the case for dash, yash etc. Normally, if you are using bash, zsh, ksh, whatever - you shouldn't care about such things.

So you're counting bash as "ksh-like"? Got it. That makes more sense

@jpaugh, well, that's what I meant because ksh's set of features is mostly a subset of bash's features (haven't checked this thoroughly though).
