[Vm-dev] with: do: in (ba)sh scripts

[Eliot Miranda]

Hi Timothy,

    I find this code confusing.  Bear with me?  So if one wanted to
evaluate d in newspeak.cog.spur newspeak.cog.v3 alongside p in "Newspeak
Spur Virtual Machine" "Newspeak Virtual Machine" how would you write that?

I write it via

IFS="
        "
set -- Newspeak\ Virtual\ Machine       Newspeak\ Spur\ Virtual\ Machine
for d in newspeak.cog.v3 newspeak.cog.spur; do
...
        shift
done

where IFS is lf tab.
