It looks like this will execute the EXIT trap in a subshell $(trap).

On the other hand, things like $(trap "echo subshell exit >&2" EXIT) and
$(trap "echo other trap >&2" USR1) seem to be handled correctly.

I think the intent of https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=53 is that
things like $('trap') and $(\trap) should also work (although an
expansion that expands to trap need not work).
