There is no harm in setting exitstatus unconditionally in evaltree.
There is a long-standing bug that may or may not be harder to fix if
this patch goes in, depending on how you want to fix it. Here's a script
that already fails on current dash.
f() {
if ! return 0
then :
fi
}
f
This should return 0, and does return 0 in bash and ksh (and almost all
shells), but returns 1 in dash.
There are a few possible ways of fixing it. Some of them rely on
continuing to conditionally set exitstatus.
