Nope. Only uses /etc/profile, and that only sets $PATH. ... unless ksh
is doing magic that I don't see.

I dunno. I was playing around with qemu the other night, and I typed
"qemu-system-x86_64" followed by <space> and then <tab> and the shell
decided to execute the command (possibly in an attempt to figure out
its usage info somehow) which filled my terminal with all sorts of qemu
logging crap. Is that a side-effect of using "compinit"? I'd call that
"magic out of the box".
