hmm afaik dash don't allows '~' as a variable name,
that is the kriterium i'm interested in?

-- dash(1)
     Variables set by the user must have a name consisting solely of alphabet-
     ics, numerics, and underscores - the first of which must not be numeric.

so hmm it seems our check are not restrictive enough,
as we dont check for a script 10foo
