Hi,
Consider
alias ""
In aliascmd(), we have
while ((n = *++argv) != NULL) {
if ((v = strchr(n+1, '=')) == NULL) { /* n+1: funny ksh stuff */
I had trusted that this "n+1: funny ksh stuff" logic which allows an
alias to start with = was because ksh allows this, but I tested this
now, it does not and I can find no evidence that it ever did. Maybe it
would be good to just remove this exception, or if dash wants to keep
it, document it as an ash extension rather than claim it as a ksh thing?
