Yes, but the patches are already in next, so it is sadly too late for

Yeah, I had mentally filed them with "block", but true subshells are
probably the most common place. However, I'd suspect a good portion of
them are going to be the "trivial" type, especially if they involve
setting up the sub-environment at the top of the subshell. E.g.,
something like this:
cmd1 &&
(
FOO=bar; export FOO
cmd2
) &&
cmd3
does not break the outer chain (which is what --chain-lint checks). It
does break the chain inside the subshell, but we never expect variable
assignment or export to fail (it is nice to fix it, of course, but the
main purpose in fixing the ones in my "trivial" patch was more about
shutting up --chain-lint to make the real breakages more obvious).
