FWIW, bash (and zsh, ksh etc) will optimise the last command call of a
script to not fork, `bash -c 'exec foo'`  is the same as `bash -c 'foo'`

(for some reason it doesn't in the subshell though so that one makes a
difference; you can check with e.g. `strace -f -e clone bash -c ...`)


Simpler shells e.g. dash or busybox ash don't, but they don't support
the pipe substitution syntax either so I guess it doesn't matter here.
