Expected output:

Actual output:
Archived.
Deleted!
The right way to do this IMO is to forget 'set -e' and do:
archive_item()
{
set -e
if false # command that fails to archive the item
then echo 'Archived.'
else return $?
fi
}
...which causes 'archive_item' to return non-zero, so that '&&
delete_item' is never executed.
