I ran into a programmer who said that, about 15 years ago, and who was
busily maintaining separate csh and sh setup scripts for a development
environment so that both csh and sh/ksh users could source them. I solved
that for them the obvious way and there was much rejoicing.

You're not writing scripts in English.
