Linux release feature request

Sorry if I am duplicating anyone, I have been unsubscribed for about a year.

As you may know it is normal on linux for executables to have no file
extension. When I create a programme called "eg"

#!/bin/exu
eg(test)

and give it appropriate permissions, it does not work, because ex looks for
eg.exu

this looks extremely unprofessional and makes me type extra too (lazy lazy)

secondly why does ex say 'press Enter to continue' as opposed to just exiting
like the DOS version. Since ee also does this I have to hit three keys to get
back to editing my programme if it exits with an error.

Other ideas

1.
{x,y}=func()   --another vote

2.
s2=s1[1..3][2]  --vertical slicing

3.
find(object x, sequence s)
if x is an integer then behaviour is as current
if x is a 1d sequence then find looks for any of the values in it and returns
a sequence containing the position of the character in the first sequence that
was found, and the position in the second sequence where it found it.

Keep up the good work RDS !
