I had a look at the old releases. It looks like in the beginning
only the:
f() { ... }
syntax was supported (I'm not talking of the function foo {...}
ksh syntax here).
Then, as part of the "short loops" feature (disabled with setopt
noshortloops), support for:
f() any command
was added (but disabled upon setopt noshortloops).
Then later the check for noshortloops was removed, possibly by
someone who realised that "emulate sh" would set noshortloops
and therefore break compatibility with sh which allows f() cmd
Cheers,
Stéphane
