Hi,

I thought that the first TIMEFORMAT set the environment variable for
`time` temporarily. But it apparently has no effect. Could anyone help
me understand why it is so? Thanks.

TIMEFORMAT=%3R time sleep 1
        1.00 real         0.00 user         0.00 sys
export TIMEFORMAT=%3R
time sleep 1
1.018
