A quick and dirty hack for users of bash >= 3.2 would be to just get rid
of the subshell_type == BASH test and block, and use the default block. 

If we only escape alphas and not numbers in the default block this hack
should be safe for all users of bash > 2.05b as explained in the
previous mail.

Attached patch implements this. This is not a proposition for a final
solution, just a temporary hack for users of bash >= 3.2.

Do not use with versions of bash <= 2.05b!

Leonard.
