-Also note that in `foo | grep bar | wc -l`, wc will mask the exit code of grep by default (i.e. without `set -o pipefail`), and always return success. If replacing with `foo | grep -c bar`, grep will exit non-zero when the count is 0. This is convenient for conditional statements but may require handling when used with `set -e`.
