 I agree. The different environments often pose a problem.

 Yes, of course the compatibility with Apple's bash is important (although
 it's quite old now). I meant I checked whether there are effects on other
 tools we should be aware of. But so far, I did not experience any problem,
 so I enabled this now in bash @4.2.45_2.

 Committed in r112140.
