(Moved to zsh-workers.)

I can believe it was never working --- the logic is horrifically
tortuous.  I've rewritten it to try to make sense of it.  The compiler
will be grateful for a variable to optimise out and perhaps therefore
indulgent enough to ignore remaining mistakes.

I don't really understand the non-POSIX_BUILTINS case, but unless my
brain has totally failed to cope it's the same logic it's always been.
