POSIX requires the SH_WORD_SPLIT behaviour. It also requires field
splitting in normal words, as well as the result of expansions:
% setopt SH_WORD_SPLIT
% IFS=x
% echo fooxbar
fooxbar
$ IFS=x
$ echo fooxbar
foo bar
I think we should implement this behaviour -- when SH_WORD_SPLIT is
set, of course. It should be very easy. I also think we should retain
the current default, as it's much nicer behaviour.
