Oups!

You know you could have just added an $ instead. I really think we should  
use parenthesis instead of backticks as the bash devs have marked  
backticks as deprecated and parenthesis are easier to nest (as well as  
more portable? - I've read some comment on that but can't give any source  
:/ ).
At the same time I think we should use '. foo' instead of 'source foo',  
where the former is more portable (1).
Maybe have some document regarding recommended coding standards (if that  
doesn't exist and I've missed it).
