I sometimes think about making emulate sh a possible interactive setting.
Let it just be that one would be able to temporarily switch to sh to check
something and then switch back. Currently there are errors reported:

# zsh -f
% autoload compinit
% compinit
% cd<Tab>
Applications/                      PRINT/
Save/                              github/                            test/
...
<Ctrl-C>
% emulate sh
% cd<Tab>
