+# preexec.bash -- Bash support for ZSH-like 'preexec' and 'precmd' functions.
+
+# The 'preexec' function is executed before each interactive command is
+# executed, with the interactive command as its argument.  The 'precmd'
+# function is executed before each prompt is displayed.
+
+# To use, in order:
+
+#  1. source this file
+#  2. define 'preexec' and/or 'precmd' functions (AFTER sourcing this file),
+#  3. as near as possible to the end of your shell setup, run 'preexec_install'
+#     to kick everything off.
+
+# Note: this module requires 2 bash features which you must not otherwise be
+# using: the "DEBUG" trap, and the "PROMPT_COMMAND" variable.  preexec_install
+# will override these and if you override one or the other this _will_ break.
+
+# This is known to support bash3, as well as *mostly* support bash2.05b.  It
+# has been tested with the default shells on MacOS X 10.4 "Tiger", Ubuntu 5.10
+# "Breezy Badger", Ubuntu 6.06 "Dapper Drake", and Ubuntu 6.10 "Edgy Eft".
+
+
+# Copy screen-run variables from the remote host, if they're available.

+
+# This variable describes whether we are currently in "interactive mode";
+# i.e. whether this shell has just executed a prompt and is waiting for user
+# input.  It documents whether the current command invoked by the trace hook is
+# run interactively by the user; it's set immediately after the prompt hook,
+# and unset as soon as the trace hook is run.
