Aside from my very little will to support
purchase of yet another island by Larry,
https://solarisfacts.blogspot.com/p/working-with-shell.html
claims that shell on Solaris 10 (the oldest still supported
version) supports $().

Is it true?

And if you tell me, that you want to keep mc development hostage
to people who would like to run master branch mc on the ancient
unsupported Solaris, then I would call it … Let’s not call it.

Best,

Matěj
