Sure, such testing would be welcome, but I believe those are tested with
our tests on most platforms.  macOS is special because it uses the last
GPLv2 version of bash, which is less capable in some ways.  I assumed
that bash would not be more likely to break here in newer versions, but
perhaps I shouldn't make that assumption.
