To add another thought to the original question, and since I know
that the OP already has the relevant experience for that; for such
a basic function writing a shell built-in could be appropriate.
(That's not portable, but I think the OP doesn't care about that.)

Not a bad idea, actually.

In fact, one of my motivations for posting is the hope that a bash dev
might see this and be motivated to add the functionality to the shell.
Then I wouldn't have to write it myself.

That and/or be motivated to fix the IFS handling in the shell.
