+execline is a (non-interactive) scripting language, like sh ; but its
+syntax is quite different from a traditional shell syntax. The
+execlineb program is meant to be used as an interpreter for a text
+file; the other commands are essentially useful inside an execlineb
+script.
+
+execline is as powerful as a shell: it features conditional loops,
+getopt-style option handling, filename globbing, and more. Meanwhile,
+its syntax is far more logic and predictable than the shell's syntax,
+and has no security issues.
+
+execline requires skalibs at build time but not at run time.
+
+execline installs into /command to match the skarnet.org examples.
