For your #8 a function might be helpful to remove the $[] characters.

     $ function c;{echo $[$*]}
     $ c 1234./56
     22.035714285714285
     $ a=33;c a / 3
     11

If I did that & something for bash that used awk | python to do FP arithmetic I might be able to evolve to a more "portable habit/muscle memory" even if Bash never learns FP arithmetic. Solid suggestion, @tux1968. Thanks. { EDIT: 1 down, a dozen to go! lol :-) and I'll go with a(){..} for a)rithmetic not c since I use that for clear. }
