No, posh by design only implements what the policy currently says
is allowed. The policy currently says that only POSIX + echo -n is
allowed. I'm happy with either adding `command -v' or the entire set of
commands in UP. I don't want stuff from XSI be mandated, though,
XSI contains too much junk and old workarounds for warts.
The extensions in UP are:
alias
bg
command -v
command -V
fg
jobs
time
unalias
Clearly, most of these won't affect scripts at all, unless some really
evil scripts are written...
