Just to point to another nice shell: zsh4.1.1 does support this
and much more.
I really don't understand why you all bind yourself to bash for scripting!
Bash is slow, big and comfortable. Scripts don't need comfort.
I always use 'ash' (much smaller/faster) for scripts and 'zsh' (much more
nice extensions and still at least as fast as bash) for normal use.
