This is related to the "x=2 | ..." problem discussed in another thread,
but easier to fix.

I think the following does the right thing WRT POSIX_BUILTINS, but if
anyone would care to devise a test case, please do.

There's one potential strange edge case.  *Before* the patch below:

torch% foo=bar
torch% foo=fred \typeset foo=ding; echo . $foo .
. bar .
torch% foo=fred typeset foo=ding; echo . $foo . 
. ding .

*After* the patch:

torch% foo=bar
torch% foo=fred \typeset foo=ding; echo . $foo .
. bar .
torch% foo=fred typeset foo=ding; echo . $foo .
. bar .

I believe only the before+resword case is correct, that is, all four
should end up with "ding" assigned to $foo, and if that's true, it's
going to be pretty ugly to fix -- but it's possible that both after
cases are correct.
