lib/scripting.x

The modules every script unit includes.

Design notes

A source file whose first line is a #! line is a script unit, and the compiler reads that line as an include of this module. Any program may include it to get commands, pipelines, jobs, path operations, argument parsing, digests, regular expressions, and line differences together.
