Hi Jason.

Thank you very much for your advice, but I prefer stay at the
software provided in the base system if it is possible (why
choosing an operating system if we do not like the software
it provides?).  ksh is a powerful shell and the default
configuration in OpenBSD makes it really useful, nearly perfect.

I think that Christian Ruediger Bahls has very strong arguments
about why having an -l option in sftp is good.

Honestly, a shell that is able to complete even hostnames is a
bit overkill (and too complex when evaluating its features on
the light of the Unix operating systems philosophy... even
ifconfig(8) is too complex for my taste).  I prefer stay at
a Bourne-compatible shell available in most (all?) operating
systems.

Cheers,
Igor.
