If I understand [1] correctly, coverage of BASH_COMPAT is incomplete: |
| 9 |
It only changes incompatible behaviour back to the old version, but it |
| 10 |
won't disallow using new features. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Therefore I'd make it a recommendation at most. Something along the |
| 13 |
lines of: "The interpreter is assumed to be GNU bash, version as |
| 14 |
listed in table xyz, or any later version. If possible, the package |
| 15 |
manager should set the shell's compatibility level to the exact |
| 16 |
version specified." |

Why the subshell here? |
