Should we install a shower grab bar if we don't need it now?

We are building a new enclosed shower, 36" x 48", so there isn't room for a bench or ledge. We are middle-aged and fortunately in good shape, and have no current need for grab bars. But I find myself wondering whether it is dumb not to just to put one in now, while it will be easier to do so. However, I also would rather not clutter up the shower with anything unnecessary, and of course by the time we are elderly we might have moved, codes might have changed, etc. We plan to be the only ones using this shower. Thanks for your opinions.
