or (entirely equivalent) when mytt(emulate ksh) or mytt(emulate sh) is in
effect.
There is one other effect of word splitting which differs between ksh
and zsh. In ksh, the builtin commands that declare parameters such
as tt(typeset) and tt(export) force word-splitting not to take place
after on an assignment argument:
verb(
typeset param=`echo foo bar`
)
in ksh will create a parameter with value mytt(foo bar), but in zsh will
create a parameter tt(param) with value tt(foo) and a parameter tt(bar)
whose value is empty. Contrast this with a normal assignment (no
tt(typeset) or other command in front), which never causes a word split
unless you have tt(GLOB_ASSIGN) set. From zsh version 4.0.2 the option
tt(KSH_TYPESET), set automatically in compatibility mode, fixes this
problem. Note that in bash this behaviour occurs with all arguments that
look like assignments, whatever the command name; to get this behaviour
in zsh you have to set the option tt(MAGIC_EQUAL_SUBST).
