Thank you for pointing this aspect out. Though the article is about scripts, so this context was somewhat implied. I don't mind the shell-specific syntax either, if it is for a command at hand. In fact, I quite often use what zsh offers with globbing, and sometimes special redirection. I just hate it being used in scripts.
