Any progress in this department? I'm accustomed to relying on constructs such as $((x += 1)), which is also in the list of arithmetic operations that the shell must support (though ++ and -- are explicitly exempted). It's easy enough to code around, but a little frustrating when I can't rely on full POSIX support in a modern shell. -- Micah J.
