Don't do that, the one who don't care about shell portability. i.e the
script started with #!/bin/bash may well be using this construct "for ((
i=0; i<3; ++i )) { echo $i; }" since ages and don't want to see warnings
all of the sudden. If you go with new warnings path, then it got to be with
a new shopt kind of optin that old script don't use.
