} Actually, I think it already does that, except in the case of a builtin not

Based on Vincent's description, it's an external command not run inside
{ ... } for which it becomes asynchronous.  Any builtin, including any
command in { ... }, does make it synchronous.

less likely to be noticed by anyone.)
