Operating systems

As a language construct

Some Spit-sh constructs dynamically change per operating system. For example, basic subroutines (functions) can be declared with different bodies per operating system (but same parameters).

    sub do-something($with) on {
        Debian { ... }
        CentOS { ... }
        # ...
    }

Core classes use this feature to wrap OS specific commands and procedures in a consistent interface. For example, Pkg interfaces with the OS's package manager. Pkg.install uses yum on RHEL and apt-get on Debian.

Support

Right now the only two OS variants that pass the spec are Debian and RHEL.
