Fish is awesome, but there are times you need POSIX/ bash-like shell syntax

Then you open bash and get POSIX and not bash-like, but bash.

In fact, sometimes I open bash even from zsh. When pasting from a script and debugging why something doesn't work as expected, I don't want bash-like. For ad-hoc loops, bash-like works well for me thanks to the familiarity of syntax.
