Today's lesson is: intent. Always tell us what you are trying to do.
In a script, that means writing comments. In an email, you can write
plain text anywhere you want.
It's helpful! Try it!

Thanks for the quick reply, I hit send by accident, the first part is clear
in the documentation.
On the second part, I still see a potential problem because Bash is
allowing for access to the internal local function variables.
E.g.
function update() {
local -i VAR=45
local -i TOPSECRET_NUMBER=50

I hit send by accident, disregard the first part - I had the info page open
and didn't realize I had sent the email already, the "$*" is what I should
be using.
The second part is still of a mystery, again a quick typo where it states
VAR2=2, it should read VAR2=3 to obtain 47.

I noticed an issue using the parameter built-in variable $@ breaking
out of contained strings when utilized in functions.
For example, consider the following bash script: m.bsh
#!/bin/bash
echo "$#"
while getopts d: OPTION "$@"; do
case "$OPTION" in
d)
echo "the optarg is ${OPTARG##*=}, o
