I'm not quite sure I see the point of using esoteric bash features.  There's a 
place for widely portable bourne-shell syntax, and a place for simple things 
that you can do with text substitutions and i/o redirection, but if you need 
more than that, why not just switch to perl or another more capable (and perhaps 
even more portable) language?
