What trouble? All that is needed is a to make ash part of base, do a tweak
in the bash and one in the ash package and perhaps fix some bugs that have
gone undetected until now. (Which obviously should not even be a problem
after what people say.) It may not matter to many users, but if the speed
difference is anywhere in the direction of what has been said here, I
definitely think it should be worth the "trouble".
