Curly bracket support would be nice.
Firmware Linux is still using bash 2.05b because last I checked ash didn't
support /path/to/{file1,file2} and some stuff needs that.
(You'd also need the ability for ash to be called as #!/bin/bash because
several scripts have that name hardwired in, especially since Ubuntu moved to
the Defective Annoying Shell.)
Oh, I also hit stuff doing >(command line) and <(command line). That
essentially does a $(command line) variant except the result gets piped to a
fifo and <(blah) bit turns into the path to that fifo.
It's used to do things like:
diff <(grep thingy) <(grep otherthingy)
> -mike
