Oddball things to remember when working in bash..

* Exit codes are not always honored in function calls when it is inline
<pre>
f() {
echo "test"; exit 2
}
f() {
echo "test"
exit 2
}
</pre>
* Breaking out of a function early can be a PITA
<pre>
f() {
foo=yes
if [[ ${foo} = 'yes' ]]; then
echo "blah"
return 0
elif [[ $foo = 'no ]]; then
echo "barf"
return 1
else
echo "baz"
fi
curl https//some.url
}
</pre>
* Eval can be useful to pull vars out of a function
<pre>
danger() { danger="$*"; passback danger; }
eval `danger '; /bin/echo *'`
echo "$danger"
</pre>
