Yes, "one-liner" is a characterization for humans. But I never suggested that "one-liner" is a "syntactic entity for machines". So I don't understand the comment.
What I did suggest was that it seems wrong to say that a long script "can be made into a 1-liner by putting each uncommented line in an -e '....' block, to get as many -e '...' blocks as the number of lines". I won't repeat the reasoning here, please refer back to and respond to my previous post.
I also suggested that, in the lack of a formal definition anywhere of the commonly used term "one-liner", "short script written on one line" might serve. I was asking for comments (agree?, disagree?) on that definition of "one-liner".
Thanks,
Daniel
