What is “reasonably close”?
Bash isn’t necessarily gonna be installed on a bsd system and it’s not exactly recent on macOS - it’s possible it’ll be dropped there too.
I’m not saying don’t write shell, I’m saying don’t assume bash specifically is available.
There’s only one bash, but there’s plenty of shells that implement POSIX “sh”.
