More or less. In cases where there is nothing inferior about doing it a way that works with other shells et al, we'd make an exception (like for $((...)) vs $[...]). The trunk does not get cluttered up with uglification for building on older systems.

We could do that for future releases. Be sure to remind me whenever we start considering making the 0.153 release (it will be discussed on this list).
