A surprisingly hard question. Um, well, this report was from something I
noticed a few months ago.
As I recall, `help -d '('` returns information about the string '((',
rather than anything about subshells, so it seemed like a trailing
glob-asterisk was assumed.
Yeah, looking further, it makes sense that it would return on a positive
match. That's how most programs seem to be.

time - Report time consumed by pipeline's execution.
times - Display process times.
