I am *quite* sure I just read it in documentation, but I am sorry, I have
been multitasking at least a half-dozen projects for days now, and I do not
have a pointer to cite to the location of this statement.
I exhaustively tried to alter my PATH inside bash (using statements
identical to what you cited) before I found the documentary confirmation
that it doesn't work.
"YMMV".
