sh +c "command string" no longer works (it must be -c)
sh +o and sh -o no longer work (if you could call what they did
before working.) nb: this is without an option name.
-ooo Opt1 Opt2 Opt3 no longer works (set & cmd line), this should be
-o Opt1 -o Opt2 -o Opt3 (same with +ooo of course).
-oOpt is now supported - option value (name of option in
this case) immediately following -o (or +o).
(as with other commands that use std opt parsing)
Both set comamnd and command line.
In addition, the output from "set +o" has shrunk dramatically, by borrowing
a trick from ksh93 (but implemented in a more traditional syntax).
"set +o" is required to produce a command (or commands) which when executed
later, will return all options to the state they were in when "set +o"
was done. Previously that was done by generating a set command, with
every option listed (set -o opt +o other-opt ...) to set them all back
to their current setings. Now we have a new "magic option" ("default")
which sets all options to their default values, so now set +o output
need only be "set -o default -o changed-opt ..." (only the options that
have been changed from their default values need be explicitly mentioned.)
The definition of "default value" for this is the value the shell set the
option to, after startup, after processing the command line (with any
flags, or -o option type settings), but before beginning processing any
user input (incuding startup files, like $ENV etc).
Anyone can execute "set -o default" of course, but only from a "set"
command (it makes no sense at all as a -o option to sh). This also
causes "set +o" to be slightly more useful as a general command, as
ignoring the "set -o default" part of the result, it lists just those
options that have been altered after sh startup. There is no +o default.
There isn't an option called "default" at all...
This causes some of the commented out text from sh.1 to become uncommented.
