Without bothering to look this up, I've got a question.

Is this only a bash-ishm at this point?  Have the other shells
migrated to this form?  For instance I know tcsh,csh and Perl 
understand the backtick form (among many others probably).  

If all the shells are migrating to it, then it would make since 
to me to deprecate it in my scripts.  Otherwise, I think the 
common theme of usage makes more sense.
