    I knew about the "!" prefix but this allows me to write only a
one-line script... But in the case I want more complex scripts? (Just
look at how hard it is to read the "Getting the diff of only one
function" example...) (Yes I could create a script, place it in a
special folder and add an alias to it -- remembering to put the right
path... But it is not as simple as adding it to the bin directory.)
