3.1.17 works (FC6); 3.00.16 doesn't (CentOS 4.4).
But the following works in every shell I tested (those before and also
2.05b, CentOS 3.8):
time { echo a; echo b; }
a
b
real 0m0.000s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.000s
Note that the following *has* to work everywhere, but also includes the
penalty of starting a new shell:
time sh -c 'echo a; echo b'
