question: shell restriction for modules

question: shell restriction for modules

[Michal Soltys]

Just to be sure - should it be strict posix (in such case, afaik - even 
'local' wouldn't be allowed) or should I follow dash (which seems to be 
the de-facto constraint on the syntax allowed).

Or perhaps something else ?

Just follow common subset of features of main shells we can use: bash,
dash and possibly ash (which comes with busybox).

Btw, have in mind that 'local' in dash takes only one variable.
