--- Comment #1 from Lennart Poettering <lennart at poettering.net> ---
I am firmly against this. The idea with systemd units is really *not* to be
turing complete programs, but purely declarative, hence integrating shell
expressions natively is really against their whole idea. I know that Upstart
allowed integrated things with shell, but it's a design decision of systemd not
to do this.

That said, you can already do what you want, by encoding shell programs in the
/bin/sh -c command lines:

ExecStart=/bin/sh -c "...."

Sorry, but I am strongly against adding more support for shell than this.
