Thanks a lot! I'm hoping to set things up for contributions in the next couple months.

I'm want to publish the test matrix and get some help because filling out the corners takes a lot of time. The general architecture is pretty sound though -- I hit all the "major areas" of shell, although I may need to make another pass at globbing.

If you are adventurous you should be able to clone it, follow the instructions for ./pybuild.sh. Then ./spec.sh install-shells, and then run './spec.sh smoke'. That test should pass, but there are like 15-20 other categories in spec.sh in various states of disarray!

Of course this is in Python, but to me it makes sense to fill out a sketch before porting it to C++ (only the runtime; I'm hoping to bootstrap the parsers in oil itself). Not sure if that will inhibit or help contribution.
