I think you'll find that most of the #!/bin/bash scripts are either
POSIX-conformant, are POSIX-conformant except for brace expansions or
-a/-o binary operators to test/[, or non-conformant syntax for
kill/trap. The same is true of #!/bin/sh scripts, except for the brace
expansion (thanks to ash/dash choking on it).
