Issues with Fish

Problems that fish has that bash doesn't have (I love fish as a shell, I just don't think it's good as a scripting language):

• fish-shell/fish-shell#159
• fish-shell/fish-shell#1396
• fish-shell/fish-shell#206
• fish-shell/fish-shell#2007
• fish-shell/fish-shell#510
• fish-shell/fish-shell#4907
• backgrounding fish functions does not exist: fish-shell/fish-shell#238
• so I had to make an entire job control system for fish that just calls out to bash: fish-shell/fish-shell#2036 (comment) …
