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.
