Bash Version: 5.2

Description:
Under 5.2.x, measuring the `time` of a subshell -- `time ( sleep 1 )`
for example -- doesn't display any timing information,
whereas `5.1.x` and before did.
Thanks for the report. It's an easy fix; bash was optimizing away the fork
and therefore not printing the timing information.
