Sure, but again: I know and recognise this syntax and the APIs. What's boilerplate to me, I hardly see, whereas compact Bash operators are noise to my eyes.
(Though to be honest, I'm also somewhat sceptical that a single & in Bash would be sufficient to move a bunch of files in a particular order, and restore them properly if the process gets terminated somewhere halfway along the process. But what I'm sure about is that I wouldn't have been able to write that in a reasonable amount of time!)
