The POSIX 1003.1-2001 shell specification merely says (http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/xcu_chap02.html#tag_02_04): The following words may be recognized as reserved words on some implementations (when none of the characters are quoted), causing unspecified results: [[ ]] function select http://www.opengroup.org/austin/papers/posix_faq.html says that POSIX 1003.2 has been incorporated into POSIX 1003.1, and so POSIX.2 no longer exists. The Scope section of 1003.1-2001 agrees.
