OpenBSD uses the Korn shell for /bin/sh and this is not true there.

    $/bin/sh -c "fail() { local f; }; fail"
    $

OpenBSD's /bin/sh defines several aliases as standard.

    $alias local
    local=typeset
    $

M. Agaram has stated elsewhere that xe was using OpenBSD sh as a poor man's POSIX conformance test.

Who's that?

That's my last name. Perhaps the M stands for "Monsieur" :)
