# @BLURB: test the PIPESTATUS array
# @DESCRIPTION:
# A stand-alone implementation of a possible future pipestatus command
# (which would be aimed for EAPI 9).  It is meant as a replacement for
# "assert".  In its simplest form it can be called like this:
#
# @CODE
# foo | bar
# pipestatus || die
# @CODE
#
# With the -v option, the command will also echo the pipe status array,
# so it can be assigned to a variable like in the following example:
#
# @CODE
# local status
# foo | bar
# status=$(pipestatus -v) || die "foo | bar failed, status ${status}"
# @CODE
#
# Caveat: "pipestatus" must be the next command following the pipeline.
# In particular, the "local" declaration must be before the pipeline,
# otherwise it would reset the status.
