Good question; I don't know.  I actually thought that dash was more
featureful than I now (reading the man page) see that it is.

dash(1) says:

    Only features designated by POSIX, plus a few Berkeley
    extensions, are being incorporated into this shell.

Perhaps someone else knows exactly what the "few" extensions are?
