Not job control in ES, but job control implemented in an ES script

I wasn't proposing to put job control in ES, that would
be against the entire philosophy of the program.
What I was proposing was to make it possible for an ES user
to write a job-control system as an ES script.
Being able to do such a thing would be a good demonstration
of how ES is can be _minimal_ and yet _extensible_.
I don't even think ES should provide globbing. It should call
on an external program to do that. Now, that should define
how minimalist I am.
