Is there any appetite for coreutils to be shellcheck-clean?

For example, in release 9.9 tests/ there are 28 errors, 700 warnings and 2479 
notes. Some of these errors are clearly false positive, and some due to 
incorrect syntax under test, but these obscure what may be legitimate bugs or 
shell compatibility issues.

It might be worth splitting these into milestones of "errors first", and there 
are diminishing returns as syntax patterns are fixed.

I'm not suggesting that shellcheck should be a hard block on releases, but I 
find it a useful tool, and would be happy to contribute patches as long as 
maintainers were generally in favour.


Cheers,
Phil
