So can we just decide what the possibilities are and then put those in Policy and be done with it? I understand the desire to describe features instead of just listing shells: that way you don't have to amend policy if a new one comes along. But really, since every shell simply *does* change a jillion details of, say, builtins, and other syntax, and since *in practice* using a non-Posix feature is harmless if every shell everyone cares about supports it, then why not do what is simplest for everyone?
