that's because the point of said discussions *is about the implementation*.  
this thread is not about the implementation, but about the API.  besides, i'd 
give you the same answer there when you attempt to get people to change 
perfectly valid (and preferred) code structures.

and the answer is still the same.  POSIX conversions are irrelevant until you 
can propose solutions for the things bash can do but POSIX cannot.  you can 
only provide workarounds or hacks, so any further attempt on the topic is 
half way conversions that lead to ugly inconsistencies.
