Hi Domingo,
The biggest benefit is that it is just plain easier than managing a
directory of symbolic links on your own. I am extremely lazy.
Here is an example use case. At the end of a work day, I like to bookmark
the folder I am working in on my cluster with
to -b work
The next day, I can co
The only thing left here is that we can't have error control like when we
are to create generally shared library scripts e.g.:
function lib_something {
declare -n VAR=$1 &>/devnull || { # error message is not suppressed
: can_t go here if referred variable's name is invalid

cd ~/bookmark
cd ~/bookmark/nested/tab/completion

I'm not sure what you mean. But namerefs may point to arrays or
associative arrays in the caller's context.

It gets downright dangerous once you realize you can use the -p option to
do things like

Actually, this is great! Style critique, plus runtime analysis. Am I
dreaming? :D
