lint warning: unnecessary mixing of `>' and `>>'

[Hermann Peifer]

Hi again.

Here a *small* observation.

For me, the lint warning makes sense in #1, but the mixture in #2 is not
necessarily unnecessary, as the intention of the user could well be to
append to any pre-existing file.

[~]> #1: So far, so good
[~]> awk --lint 'BEGIN { f="out.dat"; print "Hello" > f; print "World"
>> f; close(f) }'
awk: cmd. line:1: warning: unnecessary mixing of `>' and `>>' for file
`out.dat'

[~]> #2: An unnecessary mixture here? Most likely not.
[~]> awk --lint 'BEGIN { f="out.dat"; print "Hello" >> f; print "World"
> f; close(f) }'
awk: cmd. line:1: warning: unnecessary mixing of `>' and `>>' for file
`out.dat'
