The POSIX shell was set in stone in the early '90s. The standards board actually removed features from the Korn shell in order for Xenix-286 or comparable systems to be able to run it in a 64k text segment, with clean and maintainable C (ksh88 is very ugly C). The standards for the POSIX shell are controlled by the Austin group/OSF, and they are not receptive to changes, unfortunately. |
