Also, the value of $pipestatus is now updated when a job stops, not just
when it exits.
+- Redirections applied to function definitions take effect when the
+ function is executed, not when it is defined. Other shells already
+ work this way. For example,
+ fn() { echo hello } >~/logfile
+ Running fn writes "hello" to logfile. In older versions of the shell
+ it would create an empty file at the point of definition.
