mksh, bash, and zsh implement PIPESTATUS (pipestatus, for zsh) arrays
containing the exit statuses of the previous foreground pipeline; however,
busybox ash lacks arrays, and ksh does not have an equivalent array of exit
statuses.

It would be expedient to first standardize common practice that's portable
between the existing implementations ("set -o pipefail" only), then
possibly mandate an array of exit statuses if/when arrays are standardized.
