I don't really see the advantage to this patch, convince me.
A user's shell when invoked as /bin/sh throws away a lot of their customizations and addons; I wrote this patch for a user on #xmonad who was perplexed why some of his scripts and other shell things were simply Not Working. -- gwern acid DSNET1 MP40 Club SAW 3848 SARL ANZUS TDR Internet
