They are not programming languages in the sense of the definition
that is used in information theory.  Still some people think they
_are_ and thus completely misunderstand what's going on inside the
shell when they type commands.  One might call everything allows
to turn pre-written source code into actions (input + side
effects + output) a programming language (or interpreter for a
language).  I don't.
