Hi John,

Well, by that reasoning you should go the whole nine yards and write

	lineno = $(( $lineno + 1 ))

Except you can't. Because shell code is inherently not like C code.

What I found particularly interesting about 180bad3 (rebase -i: respect
core.commentchar, 2013-02-11) was that it *snuck in* that coding style: it
*changed* the existing one (without rationale in the commit message, too).

Ciao,
Johannes
