      clears the '-e' option in such subshells.

+     option, so numeric arguments to 'shift' that exceed the number of
+     positional parameters will result in an error message.
+
+  45. When the 'alias' builtin displays alias definitions, it does not
      display them with a leading 'alias ' unless the '-p' option is
      supplied.

      display shell function names and definitions.

      variable values without quotes, unless they contain shell
      metacharacters, even if the result contains nonprinting characters.

      constructed from '$PWD' and the directory name supplied as an
      argument does not refer to an existing directory, 'cd' will fail
      instead of falling back to PHYSICAL mode.
 
-  48. The 'pwd' builtin verifies that the value it prints is the same as

+     of the pathname constructed from '$PWD' and the directory name
+     supplied as an argument exceeds PATH_MAX when all symbolic links
+     are expanded, 'cd' will fail instead of attempting to use only the
+     supplied directory name.
+
+  50. The 'pwd' builtin verifies that the value it prints is the same as
      the current directory, even if it is not asked to check the file
      system with the '-P' option.

      indication of whether or not a history entry has been modified.

      file as having been found, though the shell will attempt to execute
      such a file if it is the only so-named file found in '$PATH'.

      the 'v' command is run, instead of checking '$VISUAL' and

      interpret any arguments to 'echo' as options.  Each argument is
      displayed, after escape characters are converted.

      and '-f' options.

      interrupt the 'wait' builtin and cause it to return immediately.
      The trap command is run once for each child that exits.

      has been set.  If Bash receives a trapped signal while executing
      'read', the trap handler executes and 'read' returns an exit status
      greater than 128.

+  59. Bash removes an exited background process's status from the list
      of such statuses after the 'wait' builtin is used to obtain it.
 
 There is other POSIX behavior that Bash does not implement by default
