R46 delivers these changes:
[tg] dot.mkshrc: prevent lksh from running it
[tg] Add the lksh manual page to the mksh distribution
[tg] Make both lksh and mksh interpret numbers with a leading digit zero
(‘0’) as octal precisely iff “set -o posix” is active
[tg] Point out the octal digit and the integer arithmetic differences
from POSuX verbosely in the manual pages (point people who need octals
to “set -o posix” and who need longs to lksh) and elaborate on the
horrors of ISO C Undefined Behaviour which is allowed to delete all your
data
[tg] Unbreak “set -o” (list flags) in lksh on LP64 machines
[tg] Implement Emacs mode PgUp as Vi insert mode Cur↑ for Yofuh
[tg] Allow setting both “set -o sh” and “set -o posix”, if done in the
same command; shuffle around compatibility levels (mksh/lksh, with -o
sh, with -o posix) again; permit a /bin/sh to set either or both
[tg] Sync lksh manual page with the exact code ifdefs
[tg] Change more use of signed integer to use unsigned instead
[tg] Implement “set -o pipefail” like AT&T ksh93 and GNU bash do

* [tg] Make “set -x” print the commands run in escaped form
* [tg] PS4 in dot.mkshrc is now timestamped
* [tg] The &> GNU bash I/O redir is no longer parsed in -o posix, -o sh modes,
lksh (breaks valid scripts)
* [tg] Implement ${ …;} more efficiently (deleted-open files)
* [tg] For shf, %#s (if you can get it past GCC’s printf format attribute)
calls print_value_quoted, ignoring field width and precision
* [tg] Catch “typeset =” (regression) with better error message
* [tg, Tonnerre Lombard] add “doch” alias to dot.mkshrc which just repeats the
last input line with sudo(8)
* [tg] Use unsigned integers for all calculations, to avoid ISO C “Undefined
Behaviour” (and implementation-defined behaviour) throughout (most of) the
code; emulate signed integer arithmetics using unsigned; not-lksh only
* [tg] Emulate signed modulo naïvely, for correct sign of the result
* [tg] Add <<< and >>> for ROL and ROR (rotate left and right, respectively)
operations, <<<= and >>> assignments; bitwise AND the RHS of a shift/rotate
op with 31 (not for lksh)
* [tg] Remove a warning by working around a workaround found in dietlibc which
works around a bug in broken software such as GNU tar (really!)
* [tg] Correct and simplify list and categorisation of built-in commands as
POSIX special and “everything else” plus a flag to keep assignments
* [tg] Handle ((foo)) as “let]” internally to avoid a conflict with
user-defined functions called let (LP#1156707)
* [tg] Clean up the code
