### BASH (pure-bash)
### https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Bourne_Again_SHell
### Ported from bash+sed+tr version
### Tested with bash versions 3.2.57 and 5.2.9
### This version completely avoids any number-theoretic workarounds.
### Instead, it repeatedly replaces characters by "blocks of characters".
### The strategy is in no way bash-specific,
### it would work with any other language just as well,
### but is particularly well suited for Bash Parameter Expansion
### ${parameter/pattern/string}
### syntax used for pure-bash global-pattern-substitution.
### (Search "man bash" output for "Parameter Expansion" for additional details
### on the
### ${parameter/pattern/string}
### and
### ${parameter:-word}
### syntax)
# Basic principle:
#
#
# x -> dxd d -> dd s -> s
# xsx dd s
#
# In the end all 'd' and 's' are removed.
