just my 2 cents. when many years ago i found out that ksh does not trace into functions i also considered it a bug. in the tools and languages i use, when a debug mode is set, one is not expected to reconfirm that setting in every entered function. i think the "least surprising result" would be to trace into functions, and disable tracing in the particular function where tracing is not desired... as i personally want to see all debug output, i always have a global set -x and local set -x's. as such i am all for the change. -f --
