Modified Files:
src/bin/sh: options.c sh.1
src/tests/bin/sh: t_shift.sh
Log Message:
In !TINYPROG versions of sh, make the builtin "shift" builtin command
perform a rotate instead or shift if given a numeric arg (which is
otherwise an error).
"set -- a b c; shift -1; echo $*" will echo "c a b".
While here, make the shift builtin comply with POSIX, and accept
(and ignore) a '--' arg before the shift (or rotate) count.
Document the variant of shift in sh(1)
Adapt the shell test for shift to not expect "shift -1" to be an
error, test that rotate works as expected, and include some tests
that use the (useless, but required) "--" arg.
