Bug or feature? You be the judge.

At least with the version we use, the ksh history mechanism is sensitive
to leading space in commands:
	Script started on Sun May  1 19:58:14 1988
	$ echo alpha
	alpha
	$  echo beta
	beta
	$ r echo
	echo alpha
	alpha
	$ exit

	script done on Sun May  1 19:58:30 1988
Some will say this is a bug; others will say that it provides a convenient
way to "disguise" a command for historical purposes.  You be the judge.
