Arg. Looks like namerefs were only added in bash 4.3. Annoying. The
fix looks something like this, but it's so ugly and bothers me:

diff --git a/src/tools/wg-quick.bash b/src/tools/wg-quick.bash
index 6edcd3a..5325f9d 100755
--- a/src/tools/wg-quick.bash

 	*) die "\`$2' is neither true nor false"
 	esac
 }


Not sure whether or not I'll merge it yet.
