I'm curious: what do you mean by "dgsh will use iteration under the hood too"? Dgsh does several things under the hood, but I wouldn't characterize any of them as iteration.

Yes you’re right. My apologies. I was glancing at the examples while cooking, specifically the git example (https://www2.dmst.aueb.gr/dds/sw/dgsh/#commit-stats) thinking that it was iterating over the lines output from git, but clearly that’s not even how bash would work. That will teach me for commenting without giving something my full attention first doh!

Looking properly at this, I can see no iteration is needed. Which actually makes the Murex implementation even easier because Murex already has tee pipes just like dgsh. It’s just not (yet) particularly well documented.

Admiring your multi-tasking!

Haha thank you but it’s really not that good otherwise I’d have grokked the iteration thing before making a fool out of myself!
