Got it. I'm the dev tools guy at my job right now, and we have a mix of Linux and Mac users, so I've gotta make sure that any shell I write works on both. For me, POSIX seems to be a good indicator of the intersection between the two OSs, even though the true intersection is neither a superset nor subset of POSIX (eg, Mac has bash, which isn't POSIX shell). Oh well. It's close enough to be useful, and I test it all manually anyway.
