When running exec fish to replace fish with itself (e.g. because of an upgrade), the new fish instance has an incremented $SHLVL. bash does not exhibit this behavior. It appears that bash decrements $SHLVL when running exec, which actually seems like a reasonable behavior (because it's removing one level of shell). Fish should do the same thing.

Clever bash. Makes sense to me.
