On item 58: My external 'kill' is from Cygwin Utilities, naturally, but its -l does what bash's 'kill -l' does in POSIX mode and its -L does something similar to what bash's 'kill -l' does in default mode. Could POSIX-mode bash 'kill -L' still give the table, instead of doing the same thing as 'kill -l'?
I'll think about it. The `-L' option just exists so it's not an error, plus it's not POSIX, and having it do the same thing as `-l' seems reasonable.
Item 3 is also a weird thing to do, but you can turn alias expansion right back off in a script with 'shopt -u expand_aliases', so whatever.
POSIX doesn't make any distinction between interactive and non-
interactive shells for aliases.
