The first patch adds loksh, a port of OpenBSD pdksh to Linux userland.
Intended for musl build, but we don't have that now.
It seems to work, I use it.

Thanks for this patch! I've used this shell a lot on OpenBSD. One
thing it does better than bash is that ^W stops at "/" and other
boundaries, not just spaces!

I've applied it with a slight adjustment to description:

Maybe they need "mksh"? Another popular Korn Shell :)
