Every bashism imported not only bloats the shell, but also breaks its compatibilty, and stops bashisms being detected, so these non-portably written scripts error out in Solaris, FreeBSD and most Debians. The real pity is people who write bash scripts starting #!/bin/sh, and then complain that sh isn't bash. It isn't!
