but when you follow a how-to which tells you commands to run in the
terminal leaded by the user you don't do program in Raku
a) the typical user don't program at all
b) i expect from programmers some sense for context
c) # is typcally a comment
d) $ leads a variable in PHP, but we don't talk about PHP
e) the typical user won't remember what # and $ means
however, in the real world just write "sudo command" is the best you can
do - for the average user it's complete and leaves no questions
for power users which don't like sudo it should be no deal-breaker to
type the command without "sudo" in a root shell
case closed
