I'm sure Chet accepts patches, if he thinks it's a bug. I'm not sure if
it's a bug per se, but at least it's a usability issue to discuss. Maybe
it can be reduced to "read re

Bash does not seem to take the last record if it has no
trailing delimiter:
$ echo "0 1 2^3 4 5^6 7 8" |
while read -a array -d ^
do echo $array
done
0 3
In this sense it does not behave like awk:
$ echo "0 1 2^3 4 5^6 7 8" |
awk -v RS=^ '{print $1}'
0 3
