I've completely lost track of the cases that are real compatibility
problems and which are just broken, because, as just got quoted, the
code is pretty hair-raising anyway.

If we think we can get away with wrapping this change in
isset(POSIXBUILTINS) that will make it easier.  It doesn't sound like it
can be wrong in that case, anyway.
