Minimal safe Bash script template

Honestly I think if someone finds awk unreadable, they're probably cutting corners elsewhere and probably shouldn't be doing unix systems programming.

It's like all of the bash scripts that we see that don't handle failures and traps or print a usage block.

Out of curiosity, I grepped the Qubes github repos for awk. Here's the most complicated use I could find:

     awk -F : '/\/home/ { print $1":"$3":"$4":"$6 } '
