The HP/BK-related set variables have no effect on _any_ command. Their
presence is a relic from a time when multi-argument functions were a
coding challenge (we're talking before 2007). If we axe them, the
mourning on my side will be very limited.
Ah sorry, I was under the impression that there are command equivalents
as well. -- In this case, by all means scrap the redundant stuff.
