| It's been that way since 1995.
What I see (in 5.2, and 5.3 alpha 1) is:
jacaranda$ bash-5.3a1 -c '( kill -9 $BASHPID )'
bash-5.3a1: line 1: 29765 Killed ( kill -9 $BASHPID )
I have no idea what you think that "9" is useful for, IMO it is a
waste of space, and just confusing (and yes, I know SIGKILL is 9).
Similarly, in an interactive shell I see:
jacaranda$ ( kill -9 $BASHPID )
Killed
That's perfectly good enough for me, no need to change things for no good
reason.
