If you're going for size, why not just sidecar all of the "standard posix-compliant tools" but ones that you would want normally. For example, bash instead of ash/dash. You don't need those tools all the time right?

While I get the point of ash being smaller as a point for busybox, if size stops being a concern because the shell is in an inactive-sidecar, then you can use a shell that has less surprising edge cases for users, like bash.
