Whoa! I should have taken a closer look at the Bash 4.1 CHANGES file. That's cool new bit of syntax. I suppose neither of us is concerned about supporting Bash 4.0 or earlier?
pacman adopted bash4 quite some time ago, and tends to be a little on the conservative side. I don't see any problem with devtools adopting bash4 features, since they're expected to be run on an up to date Arch install.
That syntax wasn't in 4.0, it's new to 4.1. But yeah, I agree.
