Eh, this is really silly, sorry. I've sent a patch to revert it back as it was unintentional.

I plan to remove all bashisms. Although having explicit dependency on bash (i.e. /bin/bash
in shebang), it would be nice have posix compliant shell scripts (as Randy Dunlap also
noted). Or at least don't have bashisms in script with /bin/sh shebang.


Kind regards,
Petr
