Allow me to inject some facts into a discussion which has so far been
completely devoid of them:

% strip static-sh-with*
% size static-sh-with*
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 990367	  17208	  92136	1099711	 10c7bf	static-sh-with-completion
 985735	  17176	  92104	1095015	 10b567	static-sh-without-completion
% echo $((990367-985735))=20
4632
% echo $((990367/985735.0))
1.0046990316870152

Is a 0.47% increase really worth such a fuss?

I would have thought that embedded systems would benefit the most from
this, since they get a usable interactive shell (and don't tell me it
doesn't need one) at a very small cost.
