} "unset foo[bar]" seems to work.

Ooh, ick.  That means in ksh93 `unset' is a keyword, not just a builtin, and
changes the parse of what follows it.

I rather don't like that ... can you make a shell function named "unset" in
ksh93?

(Shell function or not, zsh globs foo[bar], which could mean unsetting the
variables fooa, foob, and foor.)
