Listen, the default Ubuntu shell is the Bourne Again SHell. Put the
capitals together and you get... BASH. They are the same thing! The
default shell for the vast majority of distributions has for some time
been good old bash.

Ubuntu says no such thing. Bash gives you a lot of room for expansion!
Why else would a large proportion of the planet's Unix users use it!?
