Ah, indeed. I had forgotten about that evil little non-portable hack. Well, if you instead use the temporary fifo implementation of <() (which bash already supports), you won't have that problem. And since we're talking in hypotheticals here (it's not like exec is actually going to change), I declare that a perfectly acceptable solution to the issue.
