Just reading in the Dead Sea Scrolls, I discover 'setopt 
-ksh_option_print', which makes " $ setopt " (by itself) actually 
useful.  Shouldn't that be the default? Wouldn't we almost always want 
to see what the options are set to?  And if not, can't we have " $ 
setopt -v " to achieve the same thing?
