Comment (by nomeata):

 Use
 {{{
 import System.Exit
 import System.Process

 main :: IO ()
 main = do
   (_, _, _, pid) <- createProcess (proc "bash" ["-c", "diff <(echo $FOO)
 <(echo $BAR)"] )
                                         { env = Just
 [("FOO","Foo"),("BAR","Bar")] }
   ecode <- waitForProcess pid
   case ecode of
     ExitSuccess   -> putStrLn "All’s right with the world!"
     ExitFailure _ -> putStrLn ":-("
 }}}

 I don’t think `System.Process` needs any special support for `bash`
 features, just like there is no special way to invoke `perl -e` or `sed`
 or `ghc -e`.
