time is a reserved word, not a builtin. time is not "out of the
subshell". Its env is that of the
$ cat myscript
TIMEFORMAT=foo var=x
time ( TIMEFORMAT=bar var=y )
echo "<$TIMEFORMAT> <$var>"
f() { TIMEFORMAT=f; time :; }
time ( f )
echo "<$TIMEFORMAT>"
$ bash myscript
bar
f
f
setting TIMEFORMAT in ( ) affects time out of the subshell
this cannot be right
