Bash Version: 5.2
Patch Level: 15
Release Status: release
Description:
The documentation for here strings says:
"The WORD undergoes tilde expansion, parameter and variable expansion,
command substitution, arithmetic expansion, and quote removal. Filename
expansion and word splitting are not performed."
It is missing brace expansion, which is not supported:
$ cat <<< a{b,c}d
a{b,c}d
b$ cat <<< {1..3}
{1..3}
Fix:
