Hrm; POSIX_EXPORT_SPLIT would be *on* by default, then, as bash/ksh do
not split.  And it's not just `export', it's also `typeset' etc.  Maybe
KSH_TYPESET would be a better option name, and we could also check it
to see whether we should force compatibility with ksh's `typeset' flag
letter meanings in case of collisions (same way ksh emulation changes
the interpretation of `set' single-letter-options).

Unless we're already incompatibile with POSIX typeset flag letters, or
unless we're worried about bash compatibility and bash has yet a third
set of options, in which case we've got a deeper hole to dig out of.
