All this reminds me of questions I've been meaning to ask:

1) Are there any versions of sh that don't understand # comments any
more?

2) How common are sh's that don't understand shell functions?

I'm particularly interested in the answer for machines that scientists
are apt to buy and use (so that old PDP-11 in your closet doesn't
count!)
