Description of problem: The behavior of certain builtin bash commands (including eval, exec, set, unset, export, readonly, source, and trap) differ when operating either in "sh" mode, or "posix" mode (I think they are the same thing, but I'm not 100% sure). This is a request to document those differences; for example, if in "sh" mode, "export" with an invalid option will abort the script instead of continuing on. I will upload a preliminary version of the documentation from the customer; it doesn't document the differences in any real detail, but might be a starting point.
