+ * This is "experimental shell" - a vaguely-unix-like command
+ * interface. It has a very rudimentary parser that understands
+ * some things like pipes or writing out to a file. It has a
+ * handful of built-in commands, including ones that implement
+ * some more useful shell syntax such as loops and conditionals.
+ * There is support for tab completion of filenames and commands.
