are you arguing that any shell that provides 'set -o pipefail' should

rather than ignore SIGPIPE, and don't have to worry about what child
processes do on EPIPE, but only what they do on SIGPIPE, where death by
SIGPIPE is not fatal to the pipeline.

Yes, that's the basic idea. Sorry I did not explain it clearly enough. Please feel free to forward this on to the Austin group.
