+I ran into (for me) unexpected behaviour with double quotes, since when I tried it in the interactive shell, the "!" made it fail ([history expansion](http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashPitfalls#echo_.22Hello_World.21.22)). I thought "aha, it should be escaped!", did so, and did not get any error messages, but it no longer functioned as intended (as per the earlier linked page).
+
+The latter line will work everywhere, not just in environments without history expansion. I think trying a command manually before putting it into crontab is common, and this would avoid the possible user issue I ran into.

+
+Sometimes plugins register a function with `hook`, but they only want
+the function called with the content that they know how to deal with.
+Normally, this means that they call `pagetype` first thing in the
+function, determine if they know how to deal with the content, and
+only do anything if they do.  
+
+This is a bit wasteful in itself, but for external plugins, it's
+really bad.  For functions like `scan` and `linkify`, where the entire
+page is sent back and forth over `stdout` and `stdin`, it really slows
+things down.  
+
+Thus, I propose that there be a new optional parameter to `hook` that
+tells it that the function should only be called for files whose type
+is the same as the id of the plugin calling `hook`.  I have called
+this parameter `exclusive` in my branch, but this might not be the
+best name.

+Rather than coding plugins for the Perl ikiwiki in Haskell, I wonder how easily a Haskell ikiwiki could still support plugins written in Perl? The (old and apparently stale) [HsPerl5](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/HsPerl5) package might provide a helpful starting point there. -- [[JoshTriplett]]
