Additionally, for simple uses, using:
read -t
Works for pseudo built-in sleep. Not easy to use in subshells, or with any
forks.

Hi,
consider this script:
#!/bin/bash
[ "`whoami`" = "root" ] || {
exec sudo -u root "$0" "$@"
}
read -s -p "enter stuff: " stuff
If I run the script as normal user (not root!) and I abort the "read -s -p"
call with "ctrl-c", then my shell is still in si

Expensive is relative, as the time spent actually sleeping probably dwarfs the
startup time. If not, you probably want to find an alterna

Hi Chet,
The sleep command is often used in loops and using the external sleep
is expensive. Perhaps we can add the sleep builtin but have it
disabled by default to avoid syntax conflict with the external one.
Users who would want the builtin version can simply run:
[[ BASH_VERSINFO -ge 5 ]] &&
