Essentially, this is the suggestion to replace the flexible shell code
by some static variables. Besides being less intuitive and less
readable (you have to know the meaning of all the variables to
understand it) it also works only for fixed cases, e.g. if it is
only ./configure (and not ./autogen.sh or something else) which has
to be called, and only if it has to be called exactly once in the
main directory For all other cases, either *everything* has to be
done manually, or you have to introduce even more variables to cover
more cases.
The proposal is not designed to replace all cases. It's designed to
replace the common 50%.
I personally agree with several others who have replied to this thread.
The reduction in lines of code/characters seems to introduce an uglier
syntax which is harder to read with questionable benefits.
