Indeed. But it also probably doesn't meet many other needs. A quick
check shows 54 failed tests just on t0000-basic.sh. I don't think it's
something we should even consider.

Yeah, we have visited this off and on over the years (links below).
There are some modernized ksh variants that work OK (like mksh), but I
think we've declared ksh93 as not worth it.

Just to clarify what was said on that thread: ksh93 is not a version.
There is at least ksh93u+ and ksh93v-, which are *completely* different.
