Elliott Hughes 77740fcd3d Upgrade to mksh R53a.
Note that we skipped R52c because it wouldn't build with clang (thanks to
the "Shave 200 bytes off .text by revisiting string pooling" change).

From the release notes:

R53a is a snapshot/feature release:

[lintian] Fix spelling
[tg] Unbreak multi-line command history broken by history flush
[tg] Fix redefining POSIX functions that were Korn functions before
[tg, TNF] Fix bounds checks in Vi editing mode

[tg] WDS_TPUTS now emits QCHAR newline reentrant-safe
[tg] Fix var=<< implementation (LP#1380389)
[tg, FreeBSD] Make XSI test(1) extensions behave as if they were POSIX

[tg] Rework string pooling (own vs. compiler’s) (LP#1580348)
[tg] Feature: print -A, prints arguments as characters
[tg, izabera] Replace <<< and >>> as ROL and ROR operators with their new ^< and ^> spelling as per this proposal
[tg, slagtc] Clear-to-EOL under tmux to work around its anti-feature
[tg, p120ph37] Remove support for using file descriptors with more than a single digit, in preparation for named file descriptors
[tg] Correct, but simplify (at the potential cost of more tty I/O than strictly necessary, though never redundant and (probably) not more than before when it was miscalculated), line clearing and redrawing
[slagtc, tg] Implement new evaluate-region editing command Esc+Ctrl-E
[tg] Prefer external rename utility over the recovery builtin
[tg] Remove redundant full-line redraws
[tg, Natureshadow] Fix errorlevel of ‘.’ (“dot” special builtin) when the sourced script does not run any commands, for POSIX compliance
[tg] Refactor op tokens and edchars to shave off some more bytes
[tg] Fix some bugs in the manpage and some occasional/minor code bugs
[tg, Brian Callahan] Mark tests requiring new perl as !need-pass
[tg, slagtc] Add $KSH_MATCH and, to make it usable, ${foo@/bar/baz}
[tg, Score_Under] Fix bogus patch from OpenBSD: only NULL the global source in unwind when actually reclaiming its Area
[izabera] Mention in the manpage that integer bases go up to 36
[Natureshadow] Fix /= operator broken during refactoring

R52c is a bugfix-only release:

[tg] Shave 200 bytes off .text by revisiting string pooling

[tg, jilles, Oleg Bulatov] Fix recusive parser with active heredocs
[tg] Flush even syntax-failing or interrupted commands to history
[tg, fmunozs] Fix invalid memory access for “'\0'” in arithmetics

.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
is a command interpreter intended exclusively for running legacy
shell scripts.
It is built on
.Nm mksh ;
refer to its manual page for details on the scripting language.
It is recommended to port scripts to
.Nm mksh
instead of relying on legacy or idiotic POSIX-mandated behaviour,
since the MirBSD Korn Shell scripting language is much more consistent.
.Pp
Note that it's strongly recommended to invoke
.Nm
with at least the
.Fl o Ic posix
option, if not both that
.Em and Fl o Ic sh ,
to fully enjoy better compatibility to the
.Tn POSIX
standard (which is probably why you use
.Nm
over
.Nm mksh
in the first place) or legacy scripts, respectively.
.Sh LEGACY MODE
.Nm
currently has the following differences from
.Nm mksh :
.Bl -bullet
.It
.\"XXX TODO: remove (some systems may wish to have lksh as ksh)
There is no explicit support for interactive use,
nor any command line editing or history code.
Hence,
.Nm
is not suitable as a user's login shell, either; use
.Nm mksh
instead.
.It
The
.Ev KSH_VERSION
string identifies
.Nm
as
.Dq LEGACY KSH
instead of
.Dq MIRBSD KSH .
Note that the rest of the version string is identical between
the two shell flavours, and the behaviour and differences can
change between versions; see the accompanying manual page
.Xr mksh 1
for the versions this document applies to.
.It
.Nm
uses
.Tn POSIX
arithmetics, which has quite a few implications:
The data type for arithmetics is the host
.Tn ISO
C
.Vt long
data type.
Signed integer wraparound is Undefined Behaviour; this means that...
.Bd -literal -offset indent
$ echo $((2147483647 + 1))
.Ed
.Pp
\&... is permitted to, e.g. delete all files on your system
(the figure differs for non-32-bit systems, the rule doesn't).
The sign of the result of a modulo operation with at least one
negative operand is unspecified.
Shift operations on negative numbers are unspecified.
Division of the largest negative number by \-1 is Undefined Behaviour.
The compiler is permitted to delete all data and crash the system
if Undefined Behaviour occurs (see above for an example).
.It
.\"XXX TODO: move this to FPOSIX
The rotation arithmetic operators are not available.
.It
The shift arithmetic operators take all bits of the second operand into
account; if they exceed permitted precision, the result is unspecified.
.It
.\"XXX TODO: move this to FPOSIX
The
.Tn GNU
.Nm bash
extension &\*(Gt to redirect stdout and stderr in one go is not parsed.
.It
.\"XXX TODO: drop along with allowing interactivity
The
.Nm mksh
command line option
.Fl T
is not available.
.It
Unless
.Ic set -o posix
is active,
.Nm
always uses traditional mode for constructs like:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
$ set -- $(getopt ab:c "$@")
$ echo $?
.Ed
.Pp
POSIX mandates this to show 0, but traditional mode
passes through the errorlevel from the
.Xr getopt 1
command.
.It
.\"XXX TODO: move to FPOSIX/FSH
Unlike
.At
.Nm ksh ,
.Nm mksh
in
.Fl o Ic posix
or
.Fl o Ic sh
mode and
.Nm lksh
do not keep file descriptors \*(Gt 2 private from sub-processes.
.It
Functions defined with the
.Ic function
reserved word share the shell options
.Pq Ic set -o
instead of locally scoping them.
.El
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr mksh 1
.Pp
.Pa https://www.mirbsd.org/mksh.htm
.Pp
.Pa https://www.mirbsd.org/ksh\-chan.htm
.Sh CAVEATS
The distinction between the shell variants
.Pq Nm lksh / Nm mksh
and shell flags
.Pq Fl o Ic posix / Ic sh
will be reworked for an upcoming release.
.Pp
To use
.Nm
as
.Pa /bin/sh ,
compilation to enable
.Ic set -o posix
by default if called as
.Nm sh
is highly recommended for better standards compliance.
For better compatibility with legacy scripts, such as many
.Tn Debian
maintainer scripts, Upstart and SYSV init scripts, and other
unfixed scripts, using the compile-time options for enabling
.Em both
.Ic set -o posix -o sh
when the shell is run as
.Nm sh
is recommended.
.Pp
.Nm
tries to make a cross between a legacy bourne/posix compatibl-ish
shell and a legacy pdksh-alike but
.Dq legacy
is not exactly specified.
.Pp
The
.Ic set
built-in command does not currently have all options one would expect
from a full-blown
.Nm mksh
or
.Nm pdksh .
