Colodebug: a simple way to improve Bash script debugging

Re:Colodebug: a simple way to improve Bash script debugging by gforce_de on Monday December 20, 2021 @04:55AM (#29622979)

what seems possible is:

  #!/bin/sh
  
  alias :=mydebug
  mydebug() { printf '%s\n' "$\*"; }
  
  foo=1
  : this is a debugable comment
  bar=2

Interesting find! Apparently, also in POSIX sh programming, all problems can be overcome by introducing another layer of indirection ;)

Would it be OK for you if I added that information/workaround to the article (crediting you, of course)?
