completion function.
Note that the libedit code will probably want fine-tuning!
While editing the man page, add a note that non-whitespace IFS chars are
terminators and can generate null arguments.
- ansification
- format of output of jobs command (etc)
- job identiers %+, %- etc
- $? and $(...)
- correct quoting of output of set, export -p and readonly -p
- differentiation between nornal and 'posix special' builtins
- correct behaviour (posix) for errors on builtins and special builtins
- builtin printf and kill
- set -o debug (if compiled with DEBUG)
- cd src obj (as ksh - too useful to do without)
- unset -e name, remove non-readonly variable from export list.
(so I could unset -e PS1 before running the test shell...)
- the 3 argument version of getopts would not reset properly
- OPTARG did not get cleared after a non argument option was found
- OPTIND was not set properly after a non argument option.
This is used to implement the POSIX behavior when OPTIND=1
- Call setvarsafe instead of setvar. If one ran
"getopts optstr badvariable"
where badvariable contained an illegal variable name, there was no way
to recover, since setvar() would longjmp on the error.
