Yash, yet another shell, is a POSIX-compliant command line shell written

compliant shell in the world while supporting features for daily
interactive and scripting use. Notable features are:

- Global aliases
- Arrays
- Socket redirection, pipeline redirection, and process redirection
- Brace expansion and extended globbing
- Fractional numbers in arithmetic expansion
- Prompt command and command-not-found handler
- Command line completion with predefined completion scripts for more
than 100 commands
- Command line prediction based on command history

# CHANGES

Yash 2.54 (2023-02-25)

  +  Changing font style of command line predictions with $PS1P, etc.
  +  The '--le-trim-right' option.
  =  When the POSIXly-correct mode is active, the shell now refuses to
     execute built-ins POSIX XCU 2.9.1 lists as utilities that cause
     unspecified results. To implement the new behavior, the previous
     "semi-special" built-ins are now categorized in either of the new
     categories "mandatory" and "elective". The \ 
"command" and "type"
     built-ins now report the new categories of such built-ins.
  =  The shell now requires a corresponding external executable to
     exist in $PATH when running a built-in that works like a standard
     external utility even when the POSIXly-correct mode is inactive.
     Such built-ins are now categorized as "substitutive" built-ins.
  =  The "array" built-in is now completely ignored in the POSIXly-
     correct mode. The built-in, formerly a regular built-in, is now
     categorized as an "extension" built-in.
  =  The xtrace option is now ignored while expanding the $PS4
     variable to prevent possible infinite recursion.
  *  The allexport option was wrongly ignored in many assignment
     contexts.
  *  The errexit and errreturn options now work for assignment error
     in a for loop.
  *  The ">" redirection with the noclobber option no longer hangs
     when the operand names a symbolic link to a non-existing file.
  *  The exported value of the $DIRSTACK variable was not being
     updated correctly in the "pushd" and "popd" built-ins.
  *  The effect of "!" no longer applies to the exit status of the
     "break", "continue", and "return" built-ins.
  *  An alias value ending with a blank followed by a line
     continuation no longer subjects the next token to alias
     substitution.
  .  Updated the sample initialization script (yashrc):
    +  The "o" alias for WSL
