Posix test.
Ksh93 download.
Many of the *nix include only old ksh (=ksh88) = Posix done after ksh88.
Ksh93 test include your -e option.

I think that dash is only Posix full compatible. Include all posix features and nothing else.
Ksh93 include also Posix but it has also some extension, like bash and many others.
