One entry slipped through:
- builtin "builtin" function-local and function-local-static support :
        - Add option "-s" to make the builtin setting "scopted", e.g.
it makes the request to load a builtin function-local. Leaving the
function will disable/unload any builtin loaded with "-s" during the
current function (e.g. it works like a local variable)
        - Add option "-S" to make the builtin setting function-static
(requires "-s"), e.g. the builtin setting is function-local and
restored each time we enter this speciifc function
* Both are needed for the ksh function library so a specific module
can load+use binary parts specific to this ksh script module.

- builtin "builtin" load under different name:
      - Add option '-n' to load a builtin under a different name. The
builtin code will still see its original name as argv[0].
        Example: $ builtin -n chicken grep # will load the builtin
"grep" under the name "chicken"
