Well now, there's lot of code you might see which isn't correct, e.g. the very common #!/bin/sh but the code is actually a bash script.
Being someone that has to fix this stuff I see A LOT of people
improperly writting bash scripts and 99% of the time the bash-isms are not
necessary at all.
Yup, I run across that with some frequency myself. It's pretty
annoying. The basic assumption seems to be that /bin/sh is always bash.
In the 1980s, the annoying assumption was "all the world's a
VAX". Now, it's "all the world's a PC running Linux".
