  # ShellDetector attempts to detect the shell the invoking user is
  # running by checking:
  #
  #  - The command of our parent
  #  - The SHELL environment variable
  #  - The shell returned by getpwuid for our process UID
  #
  # Since none of these methods is fullproof, the detected shell is
  # verified against a list of known shells before being returned to
  # the caller.
