ROTFL!

: do_it {now | whenever-you-feel-like-it | until-done | forever}

: do_it is a general purpose command.  In fact, it is so generalized, most
: GNU-Script programs can just be written as:

Written?  WRITTEN?  What kind of "punched cards are even cooler than
paper tape and an IBM model 29 can take on an ASR-33 any day" kind of
throw-away hack is that?  Doesn't it have a voice-input option with
automatic language recognition?  That kind of technology has been
available since 1968 for pete's sake! (I know, I saw it on Star Trek).

:   #!/usr/local/bin/gnuscript
:   do_it
:   exit

: do_it takes one agrument.  The default is "now".
