That’s positively breaking people’s use of e.g. mksh on systems
with a less-good sh, and not very nice. I’d even consider it a bug.

FWIW, I'm quite impressed with mksh interactively. I thought it was much

ksh93 in that respect. I'd even consider it for my daily use if I hadn't
wasted half my life on my zsh setup. :-) -- Frank Terbeck in #!/bin/mksh
