Ksh has really a lot features. But not this ["basic" (sort of)] one.

(Well, I might as well have just missed it in the docs, but there's
also the Bolsky/Korn book where I didn't see it. And I'm using that
shell so long. And I've also got no hints yet.)

Lacking features is certainly no feature of Ksh. ;-)
