The `rcish` Shell

================

An evolution, not a revolution.

Additional Features

===================

  * Lexical block scoping

    * New scopes are introduced within `{ }` blocks. Nesting works as expected.

  * Local variables

    * Destroyed at the end of their encosing scope.

    * Very antiuseful outside of functions.

    * *Not* exported.

  * `try` blocks

    * If any command returns a non-zero status code outside of a condition,

      the block immediately exits with that status code.

  * Function copying

    * `fn copy = orig` creates a new function `copy` with the exact contents of

      `orig`. Useful for extending the functionality of already-defined functions.

  * Integrated Linenoise REPL

  * Fixed to compile with musl libc
