Sorry -- I was naughty. I'm pretty sure I've done this before, too (i.e.
post code without specifying what shell I'm posting for -- a crime I
would usually point out on-list). It was for zsh (process substitution).
Obviously it's just lazy syntax. I assume something similar:

TMP=$(mktemp) || exit 1
( echo '%g/anarchist at blah/s//entombednerds at blah/g'; echo f; echo w; echo q ) >> $TMP
