I really like this "minimal" convention.

I have a few more to add. I'm trying to use single quotes for strings 
that don't have variables inside. I think it saves a few CPU cycles, 
although I wouldn't be shocked if it doesn't. I prefer to quote hash sum 
values with single quotes to show that they're literals. Finally, I 
prefer to use bash magic like "${VAR//search/replace}" instead of 
starting an additional process (such as sed or cut) and I always 
double-quote these expressions, just in case. Not a big deal if these 
don't make it into "convention."
