- Isolate variable names:
`echo ${{{HOME}work}}`
- Brace expand sequences:
`echo {{{1..3}}} {{{a..c}}}{{{dir1,dir2,dir3}}}`
- Check if `variable` is set before returning text:
`echo ${{{variable:+variable is set and contains $variable}}}`
- Set default values in case `variable` is unset:
`echo ${{{variable:-default}}}`
- Return `variable` length in characters:
`echo ${{{#variable}}}`
- Return a string slice:
`echo ${{{variable:3:7}}}`
- Recursively expand a `variable`:
`echo ${{{!variable}}}`
- Group command output together:
`{ {{command1; command2; ...}} } | {{another_command}}`
