Thanks for writing this.

Generally speaking, dash tends to support features that ash and older
versions of dash supported (to avoid breaking backward compatibility)
and features accepted for POSIX.  Has the Austin Group made a decision
on whether this syntax is going to be supported?  I'd be happier about
it once the Austin Group has accepted it[1].

But it's nice to see the patch is simple.

Just my two cents,
Jonathan
