In the classic Bourne shell we get:

	$ exec 10> aap
	10: not found
	$ cat aap
	cat: input aap is output
	$ exec > /dev/tty
	$ cat aap >&10
	10: bad file number
	$ set a b c d e f g h i j k
	$ echo $#
	11
	$ echo $10
	a0
	$ 

I expect bash to have these fixed.
I.e. don't look for a DIGIT, but a NUMBER.
The days of less than 10 file descriptors are long over.
