-- User Variables -
- Variables must always be enclosed by {}
- e.g. ${foo} ${bar}
-- Internal Shell Variables -
- Do not use {} with internal variables unless appropriate
- e.g. case $1 in
- e.g. foo=$IFS
- e.g. echo "blah${1}123"
-- Assigning with Quotes -
- When assigning to a variable from another variable, you should
- not need quotes. However, you do when assigning from a subshell.
- e.g. foo=${bar}
- e.g. foo="$(uname -a)"

-- Brackets -
- Always use the [ ... ] form instead of [[ ... ]] as the later only really
- works in bash, and we should support as many shells as we can.
-- Quoting -
- When dealing with strings, you should quote both sides.

-# CODE BLOCKS #
-###############
-- Structure -
- Use the more compact form
- e.g. if ... ; then
- e.g. while ... ; do
- Do not use the older form
- e.g. if ...
- then
-- Functions -
- Use the more compact form
- e.g. foo() {
- Do not lead with 'function '
- e.g. function foo() {
