Small price to pay for something that can basically do the job of almost the
entire Unix userland.
Also, yours is bloated (but st

An awk script equivalent to grep is at least one order of magnitude smaller,
and possibly two.

That's a feature, not a bug. Hash tables are bloatware. If you can't do it
with linear search, you shouldn't do it. Don't even get me started on
red-black trees...

Agreed. And +1 for trying a TOFU-only experiment; that could be exciting.
I really like that Surf shows a red bar for HTTP connections and a green bar
for HTTPS connections. The trouble is, Surf has no store of CA certificates,
so can't be verifying server certificates. It is just assuming that any SSL

Let's not reject the PCP hypothesis out of hand, now.
