What the operating system does doesn't really matter, bash emulates /dev/fd/x:

"If the operating system on which Bash is running provides these
special files, bash will use them; otherwise it will emulate them
internally with the behavior described below."

https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Redirections.html

And as far as I know the testing framework only works correctly on bash... So...

Yes, that works too. But that's what I said in another mail that is
weird stuff. I had to read it again three times and then copy to a
proper text editor with monospace font to see if it was correct.

Yeap. Took me a while to find the right documentation to figure that
out, but in my opinion it's better to write a helper for the tests
once, and then forget about it and just re-use it for all.
