Are these "built-ins" also available in the real Bourne Shell, and/or ksh?
Or are they strictly a "bash" thing?[1]
If they only exist within bash, then I wouldn't advocate their use if
you're goal is portable shell code.
Of course, if your goal is portability, just write it in perl and be
done with it :)
[1] Since I only have access to a Linux system where /bin/sh *is*
bash, I can't check this myself :(
