Maybe you should raise this on bug-standards to get the GNU Coding 
Standards to allow it.  It seems strange that the GNU Coding Standards 
still refer to traditional Bourne shell compatibility (not even 
POSIX.2-1992), when they allow use of C99 and POSIX.1-2001 C library 
interfaces; I'd think it ought to be OK by now for shell scripts in GNU 
software to use at least anything from POSIX.2-1992 (both shell features, 
and utility options), and probably the 2001 edition of POSIX (like for C 
interfaces).
