If you write your own Haskell sh, you're probably continually extending your builtins to have functionality that's present in the GNU tools since the 80s. I think it's overly optimistic to expect that it's a one time effort after which our shell test problems are over. > More compact tests are easier to write and easier to > run.

I don't think that people who are unwilling to install msys or cygwin (fairly familiar programs that come as a Windows installer package) will be willing to install some obscure Haskell shell.
