Actually, I checked first that it's not bash-only (I saw the flames
about that on lkml some time ago, so I've been scared ;-)). Works fine
with dash here and it's in the posix sh specs. See 2.6.2 in
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/xcu_chap02.html

So I hope that there's a bit of a broader support for it :-)
