I get those requests, if indirectly. People ask why bash's posix mode
doesn't disable every feature that's not in POSIX, "kind of like dash."
They don't realize that dash is a POSIX superset itself, and they'd be
pretty disappointed if I did that ("What? I didn't mean you should remove
*all those features*, just the ones I don't want!")
