Synopsis: POSIX.2: regular builtins can't be exec'ed.

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed

State-Changed-Why:
It is a pity that no-one has replied to, or acted upon, this PR
in the past 18 years ...

The last time I raised this issue, the consensus was strongly
that POSIX was insane in this area (my interpretation) and that
we should not implement this (even though doing so is trivial
and almost cost free).

Thus, rather than simply leave this PR sitting open for another
18 years, I'm closing it as a "will not fix".
