I don't know that I'd call it a workaround, since the doc on bash
makes it pretty clear that interpreting a literal that starts with 0d
(where d is a decimal digit) as octal thereby disallowing 08 and 09 is
pretty clearly working as designed.

That's something I learned about the bash language only by digging
into your question.  Thanks for providing another learning
opportunity.
