The rationale says:
While wordexp() could be implemented entirely as a library routine, it is expected that most implementations run a shell in a subprocess to do the expansion.
So "investigate and fix it to be more universal" doesn't really serve any purpose -- if/when we will remove/replace the ast ksh93 (and every seems to have its own way to do the words expansion), we'll have to update the wordexp() implementation.
