That's an awkward one, because (AFAICS) sh-script.el doesn't know
anything about ksh93. "ksh" is assumed to be ksh88. Do you think ksh88
and ksh93 differ significantly enough for it to be worth adding code
for ksh93 to sh-script? Is "ksh" these days more likely to be ksh88 or
ksh93?

That's a good question.  The folks on comp.unix.shell would say ksh93 (which
does have a lot of new features I'm just now learning about), but Sun e.g.
still distributes ksh88.  What do the major GNU/Linux distributions provide?
