 Replacing the function call with the function definition, the behaviour
 seems reasonable. The command is tested, so -e should not trigger.
 
 In general, set -e is not a good idea for more complicated scripts
 because its rules can be confusing and inconsistent across shells. You
 can achieve a similar effect by putting '|| exit' after commands.
