Dear Bash maintainers, this very useful construct worked in 3.2: diff <(sort {a,b}.lst)but fails in 4.0, breaking scripts for many, no doubt. Such a substantive change (much more harm than good, in my opinion) ought always to come with an option to revert to the previous behavior.
Sincerely, Ted Bagg
