The sloppy or casual nature of scripting is partly intentional. The Unix
"ls" program (to list files) is about the size of a script, but it's not
called a script because it's thorough and documented.

"Tools" is very generic, it could mean almost anything: programming
tools? system tools? "Utilities" would be a similarly generic word.
