-#
-# apf -- arg-prepend-file -- Prepend null-delimited arguments read from a file
-# to a command's arguments before running it. This is intended as a way of
-# implementing *rc files for interactive Bash calls to programs that don't
-# support such files, without having to use broken environment variables (e.g.
-# GREP_OPTIONS); this enables you to, for example, use arguments with shell
-# metacharacters and spaces in them that you do not want expanded.
-#
-# For example, given this simple program in our $PATH, printargs:
-#
-#   $ cat ~/.local/bin/printargs
-#   #!/bin/sh
-#   printf '%s\n' "$@"
-#
-# Which just prints its arguments:
-#
-#   $ printargs a b c
-#   a
-#   b
-#   c
-#
-# We could do this:
-#
-#   $ printf '%s\0' -f --flag --option '? foo bar *' > "$HOME"/.printargsrc
-#
-#   $ apf "$HOME"/.printargsrc printargs a b c
-#   -f
-#   --flag
-#   --option
-#   ? foo bar *
-#   a
-#   b
-#   c
-#
-# We could then make a permanent wrapper function with:
-#
-#   $ printargs() { apf "$HOME"/.printargsrc printargs "$@" ; }
-#
-#   $ printargs a b c
-#   -f
-#   --flag
-#   --option
-#   ? foo bar *
-#   a
-#   b
-#   c
-#
-#   $ printf '%s\n' !-2:q >> "$HOME"/.bashrc
-#
-# This means you can edit the options in the *rc file and don't have to
-# redefine a wrapper function.
-#
-# If you actually want those options to *always* be added, regardless of
-# whether you're in an interactive shell, you really should make an actual
-# wrapper script.
