As they said, ksh does.
But if you want every user feature under the sun, try zsh.  It basically sucks
in everything from ksh, bash, and tcsh, and probably adds new stuff.  sh style
for most things, but tcsh compatibility can be turned on.  'CSH_JUNKIE'. :)

On the bloat front, oddly enough, the zsh binary on my Linux box is smaller
than the bash one.  Uses two more libraries, though, libnsl and libm.  (Wait,
that's the math library.  Hah!)
