Tried with vim, I see the escapes, cristal clear.

However, I honestly don't see why I should do something foolish as `curl | sh`, even though from time to time I see websites suggesting this crazy approach. The first thing I think of is "why should I give you control on my shell?".

…I guess, however, this is kind of a natural behavior for the user who doesn't know the shell-fu. I've seen a similar article once about Ubuntu Forums. Unfortunately I can't recall the URL.
