and i think that this makes sense. that is, errors in the .esrc would skip
execution of the rest of the .esrc and start the interactive shell.
whoops. i just checked rc and Byron got it right. rc doesn't exit the
whole shell when the .rcrc contains a bug, just the .rcrc; es will return to
this behavior in the next release.
