+====== brew upgrade issues ======
+Symbolic links to the new bash from brew might not get updated. There's one in /usr/local/bin/bash to update manually.
+First, check which shell you're in. And check which would be run. And check which are symlinks.
+<code>
+$ echo "$0"
+/bin/bash
+$ which bash
+/opt/homebrew/bin/bash
+$ which -a bash | xargs ls -l

+Then, if there's a broken symlink, fix it.
+<code>
+$ sudo rm /usr/local/bin/bash
+$ sudo ln -s /opt/homebrew/bin/bash /usr/local/bin/bash
