That and/or be motivated to fix the IFS handling in the shell.
What specifically are you referring to? - I can't imagine that there's
a bash specific bug with IFS since IFS handling is a very old concept
in Unixes' shell. - OTOH, I cannot think about changing long existing
behavior without breaking tons of code. This would at best [in bash]
lead to yet another 'shopt' setting to be explicitly activated. - But
how should it then behave?
