assignment arguments, so var(value) may be split into separate words; if
the option is set, assignments which can be recognised when expansion is

tt(KSH_TYPESET) is set, but otherwise is treated as having the two arguments
tt(vbl=one) and tt(two).
If the shell option tt(TYPESET_SILENT) is not set, for each remaining
