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.
