‣ I was convinced by several that more magic is never the solution
• fix a comment: function cat already had precedence
• change cat loader to look for existence, FPATH included, before
ditching the builtin; note that in manpage
plus plugs an ancient memory leak (hist_execute afree’s its arg now);
also partial revert of commitid 78014291f06497b3 as COMPLEX_HISTORY handles
multi-line commands correctly now (r1.4, 2005-05-23)
issue spotted by carstenh, could have been a documentation ambiguity issue
(as -N was designed to read and return exactly n bytes), but this resolves
it in a way both backwards-compatible and user-pleasing
For example,
When failing to execute the script which starts with the above line,
an error message does not contain information for /path/to/name.
Instead, it contains only name. In addition, if /path/to/dir/, an error
message contains empty string for a name of a failed script.
If specified path does not exist, try to use shell/interpreter name
without directory.
On OS/2, directory structures of distribution is quite different. And
Some scripts have hard coded shell/interpreter. To overcome this, allow
to use shell/interpreter name if specified path does not exist.

PATH and TMPDIR are used by OS/2 as well. So they may have backslashes
as a directory separator. A backslash may cause an unexpected behavior
when do 'echo'. Because a backslash may be used as an escaped character.
This enables to convert CR+LF to LF when reading, but disables to
convert LF to CR+LF when writing.
Instead, however, CR+LF are not passed into mksh as is.
On OS/2, an executable status is determined by an extension such as .exe
not real executable mode.
Script files without executable extensions such as .exe, cannot be
executed.
