I seem to be being invoked here for something I actually don't think I
want at all, which suggests that wires have been crossed somewhere.  Can
you explain why I'd want to replace some part of a fairly well-optimized
and established C program with a shell pipeline?  I'm pretty certain it
would not be faster, at least.
