Oh, I only meant "should" as in "I would be surprised if it were more
difficult than the following".

I am against bloat in shell scripts, however, and switch to a better
scripting language past 50-100 lines. Perl, Python, or Ruby are
generally found on systems that have gpg + bash, and the differences
between versions of a programming language are much easier to deal with
than the annoying matrix of incompatible Unix utilities.

Eh, it's a truly tiny bit of logic. I use my own clip() function because
I don't like pass's implementation.

No, it's not unreasonable. The bit of resistance you are getting is
likely from long-time users (well only a couple of years), who really
liked the brevity and simplicity of pass.

Ultimately, this is just a pleasant little yak shave while I wait for
some food on the grill. Grumpy purists can ultimately just revert to an
old revision of pass or whip up their own.

What is really valuable about this project is the idea; I am quite
envious that such an elegant solution to password storage never occurred
to me. I was also unhappy¹ learn that the author of the very useful
ipset integration in dnsmasq is the very same Jason Donenfeld that
authored this project.
