Hello! I'm the author of OSH, a POSIX- and bash-compatible shell - https://oils.pub/

And I created these reports recently, which might be interesting

I created it mainly because I thought OSH was the only shell aiming at bash compatibility, until recently - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43908368

I guess with bash and ksh, it's the other way around -- I know bash is implementing some ksh features like ${ echo command sub; }

But maybe it's of interest? I am not sure if there is "pressure" for ksh to be bash compatible

BTW I arrived here from oils-for-unix/oils#2058 - a bug I just fixed in OSH, that appears to be in ksh
