Hello,

after reading a lot about ksh builtin commands was wondering if ksh
can have itself as built-in.

The usecase are scripts which have many lines (sometimes a few hundred
or run them in loops) like sh -c 'execute something', each of them
creating a new process, execute a few commands and then return again
to the parent shell. Could ksh builtins help in such a scenario by
making sh itself a builtin?

I know there are alternatives like replacing the sh -c '' lines with
subshells or other constructs but using builtins would require almost
no changes in the scripts and may be preferable in this case.
