Yeah, but as long as the she-bang is (correctly) requiring bash, we
might as well use the full power of bash.  Also, Issue 8 of POSIX will
be mandating $'' handling (but it could be several years before Issue 8
becomes a standard, compared to Issue 7 [aka POSIX 2008] just barely
released its first technical corrigendum [aka POSIX 2013]).
