 | [`Tee`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/bitfield/script#Pipe.Tee) | input copied to supplied writers |
 
 Note that filters run concurrently, rather than producing nothing until each stage has fully read its input. This is convenient for executing long-running commands, for example. If you do need to wait for the pipeline to complete, call [`Wait`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/bitfield/script#Pipe.Wait).

+// ShellForEach runs cmdLine for each line of input, via the operating system's standard
+// shell.
+//
+// cmdLine is rendered as a Go template for each line of input, and the resulting command
+// is passed to the shell for expansion and execution ("sh -c" on Unix-like systems, "cmd
+// /C" on Windows). ShellForEach produces the combined output of all these commands in
+// sequence.
+//
+// This is like [Pipe.ExecForEach], but because the rendered command line goes through the
+// shell, you can quote template values so that arguments containing spaces or other shell
+// metacharacters are handled the way the shell would handle them. For example, to touch a
+// set of files whose names may contain spaces:
+//
+//	ListFiles("*").ShellForEach("touch '{{.}}'").Wait()
+//
+// Note that variable syntax differs by platform: Unix shells expand variables written as
+// $VAR, while cmd.exe on Windows expands variables written as %VAR%.
+//
+// # Environment
+//
+// Each command inherits the current process's environment, optionally modified by
+// [Pipe.WithEnv].
+//
+// # Context

+// Each command inherits the pipe's context (if any was set by [Pipe.WithContext]), and
