Too bad there was no option to just turn *everything* off for the one
command. So often we end up fighting the shell's expansions with
various incantations whereas:
setopt everyexpansionoff
command
unsetopt everyexpansionoff
... would be so much more understandable. I know it's not the way
shells work, but why not? I now understand why this sort of thing can't
be done with the 'whence -m' situation but so long as the option was
unset before a command is reached, it should be at least possible in
theory. Can't the whole expansion engine just be bypassed in one very
long jump?
