Hmm, I want to show here what I have, in order to ask whether
I really should change it to the "Most efficient way" shown
above. Is there any advantage, or is mine "just as" efficient?
:0 # no i - ignored with nested braces
* $ ! TESTNAME ?? ^^$ACKS/([0-9]+|noacks)/
{
# if here, we *will* send an ack!
:0 wic # if needed, create today's ackdir; add sender
* $ ! TESTNAME ?? ^^$ACKS/fullacks/
| test -d $ACKS/$DATE || mkdir $ACKS/$DATE ;\

I'm also especially interested in flags. I never am sure
that I'm *really* using the most efficient ones.
Thanks, folks. :)
