I could be convinced the latter is correct. Apart from KSH_TYPESET,
nothing stands out in my mind as needing special behaviour during the
expansion phase. A careful search of the manual might be warranted.
There was some discussion of the KSH_TYPESET behaviour on the Austin
group list; I can't remember the exact upshot, but it's possible it
makes the proposed change a requirement.
