i just want to make lunar better and all i get is your 
BS...of course ive heard what you say...but im not 
satisfied with that. i want this support.  you didnt say 
that you dont ever want to support such things.  all you 
said is i _could_ stop. but why? because you failed? you 
even tried to implement the same thing...  and failed, is 
that my fault?  no. is it bash's fault?  no.

no need for any dirty bash hacks here. as long as we dont 
add another while read-loop (the other while read loop 
doesnt even need to be touched).

so, is there a way to assign a value to a variable from a 
pipe without using read? if thats the case, im done with 
the patch :)
