This process is exactly why shell scripts, with their rich variety of implicit behavior & syntactic shortcuts plus the surrounding userspace ecosystem of highly composable tools, are so useful: they offer the two complementary benefits of extremely expressive terse idea kernels & crucially the ability to _gradually_ add sophistication: error handling here, variable type restrictions there, logging a bit later, and so on.
