If it matters (I already know Chet's answer): I agree with Mr. Korn here 
about sanity. Infact, for some reason, I always intuitively relied on it 
(without any problem for now - I didn't hit a case), maybe I intuitively 
expected the C behaviour from Bash.

In Bash practise, now as I know it, I can code accordingly.
