Description
Try to explainshell case. For a basic case statement to be made a one-liner by the user, it gets complicated:
case $yn in
[Yy]* ) make install; break;;
[Nn]* ) exit;;
* ) exit;;
esac
Restricting the size of multi-line input would be needed as well. There will be people to paste in a full script.
