AFAIK `time` is clearly a bug in the tree-sitter grammar.
E.g. it probably causes a misparse for things like:

    time while ... do ... done

The same probably holds for `coproc`.
I suspect that for the other ones it doesn't make much difference, OTOH.
So maybe the other ones were deliberately omitted to keep
the grammar simpler.
