 The standard behaviour is this:
 
    faber $ (sleep 10 & jobs | cat)
    [1]+  Running                 sleep 10 &
    faber $ (sleep 10 & jobs | grep '.')
    [1]+  Running                 sleep 10 &
 
 Commands inside () are forced into a subshell;
 sleep 10 is then started in the background;
 jobs is a shell builtin, but it's output must still be pipable;
 AND IT IS!
 
 Does the sequence "(sleep 10 & jobs | cat)" produce output at you?
 [It should.]
