"accept" as a loadable

I was intrigued to see that there is a new loadable builtin command named accept. Could it be this accept? Surely not ... But this is Bash, after all ...

So when I pulled the tarball down, I took a look ... and sure enough ... it is that accept.

To quote from its help text, accept “allows a bash script to act as a TCP/IP server”.

Wow.
