Wow. For those of us who don't know this, what should we be using instead? Is using a trap on ERR any better? Is your suggestion that || exit 1 be added to the end of every command? (Potentially of mild interest is this thread on Hacker News from earlier today, where multiple people are suggesting the usage of "set -e" along with "set -u" and "set -o pipefile".) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13940322
