Nah, that would be too unfair. E.g. people without unix access can't
reasonably develop crypt based solutions (ok, they could use one of
the external crypt modules if they know they exist). It would split
the golf population in people who happen to have one feature or not.
Also think of the dropping of $ in $_ that MrMagoo found. linux
specific bug. should it be accepted or not ?
