Is there any Bourne (or "Bourne compatible") shell version that requires
me to put the last ";;" right before the "esac"? The language
description in "An Introduction to the UNIX Shell" (Bourne/Seiden, 4.3
BSD book USD:3-23) seems to require it, though there are examples on
previous pages that omit it.
E.g.,
case $LL in
COOL) echo this;;
J) echo that;; #is the ";;" needed here?
esac
