That's quite a lot of new code.

What about a new program ... quick shot (and maybe an unlucky name): 'trap' ?


I don't mind either way (env feature or new program).

"trap" will get mixed-up with the shell's built-in command.
How about "untrap" (because the goal is to undo the 'trap' command),
and also there's no "untrap" executable name in debian, so no name conflicts?

will send an updated patch later today.
