The function name expandstr() and the general idea of doing this kind of
expansion by treating the text as a here document without end marker is from
dash.
All variants of parameter expansion and arithmetic expansion also work (the
latter is not required by POSIX but it does not take extra code and many
other shells also allow it).
Command substitution is prevented because I think it causes too much code to
be re-entered (for example creating an unbounded recursion of trace lines).
Unfortunately, our LINENO is somewhat crude, otherwise PS4='$LINENO+ ' would
be quite useful.
If the here-document is attached to a compound command or subshell, $?
already works properly. This is both a workaround for bin/41410 and a
requirement for a true fix for bin/41410.

checks for collision/non-collision properties in binding them. This
test would have identified a bug recently reported on current@
involding my disaggregation of the pcbinfo lock.
It would be nice if this test also exercised packet diversion and
injection, but that is for another day.

rather than using a fixed port number. This means that the regression test
can be run many times in a row without waiting on TIMEWAIT to release a
hard-coded port number.

Examples:
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 printf '%d\n' $(printf \'\\303\\244)
LC_ALL=en_US.ISO8859-1 printf '%d\n' $(printf \'\\344)
Both of these should print 228.
Like some other shells, incomplete or invalid multibyte characters yield the
value of the first byte without a warning.
Note that there is no general way to go back from the character code to the
character.
CDPATH should be ignored not only for pathnames starting with '/' but also
for pathnames whose first component is '.' or '..'.
The man page already describes this behaviour.
If IFS is null, unquoted $@/$* should still expand to separate words.
This differs from quoted $@ (which does not depend on IFS) in that pathname
generation is performed and empty words are removed.
If WITH_BSD_GREP is not set, it will be 'bsdgrep' and GNUgrep will be
'[ef]grep'. Otherwise, BSD-grep will be the grep family, and GNUgrep
will be 'gnugrep'.

This reflects failure to determine the pathname of the new directory in the
exit status (1). Normally, cd returns successfully if it did chdir() and the
call was successful.
In POSIX, -e only has meaning with -P; because our -L is not entirely
compliant and may fall back to -P mode, -e has some effect with -L as well.
This is sometimes used with eval or old-style command substitution, and most
shells other than ash derivatives allow it.
It can also be used with scripts that violate POSIX's requirement on the
application that they end in a newline (scripts must be text files except
that line length is unlimited).
Example:
v=`cat <<EOF
foo
EOF`
echo $v
This commit does not add support for the similar construct with new-style
command substitution, like
v=$(cat <<EOF
foo
EOF)
This continues to require a newline after the terminator.
the architecture, reflect this in documentation. For such
options, both WITH_FOO and WITHOUT_FOO description files should
be provided.

- Setting a build option may enforce other build options, try harder
to detect this case.

Because we have no iconv in base, support for other charsets is not
possible.
Note that \u/\U are processed using the locale that was active when the
shell started. This is necessary to avoid behaviour that depends on the
parse/execute split (for example when placing braces around an entire
script). Therefore, UTF-8 encoding is implemented manually.
?, [...] patterns match codepoints instead of bytes. They do not match
invalid sequences. [...] patterns must not contain invalid sequences
otherwise they will not match anything. This is so that ${var#?} removes the
first codepoint, not the first byte, without putting UTF-8 knowledge into
the ${var#pattern} code. However, * continues to match any string and an
invalid sequence matches an identical invalid sequence. (This differs from
fnmatch(3).)
