# The :S modifier replaces the empty value with an actual word.  The
# expression is now no longer empty, but it is still possible to see whether
# the expression was based on an undefined variable.  The expression has the
# flag VEF_UNDEF.
#
# The expression does not have the flag VEF_DEF though, therefore it is still
# considered undefined.  Yes, indeed, undefined but not empty.  There are a
# few variable modifiers that turn an undefined expression into a defined
# expression, among them :U and :D, but not :S.

# XXX: This is hard to explain to someone who doesn't know these
# implementation details.

# And now to the surprising part.  Applying the following :S modifier to the
# undefined expression makes it non-empty, but the marker VEF_UNDEF is
# preserved nevertheless.  The :U modifier that follows only looks at the
# VEF_UNDEF flag to decide whether the variable is defined or not.  This kind
# of makes sense since the :U modifier tests the _variable_, not the
# _expression_.
#
# But since the variable was undefined to begin with, the fallback value from
# the :U modifier is used in this expression.

# Now the variable named " " gets a non-empty value, which demonstrates that
# neither leading nor trailing spaces are trimmed in the argument of the
# function.  If the spaces were trimmed, the variable name would be "" and
# that variable is indeed undefined.  Since ParseEmptyArg calls Var_Parse
# without VARE_UNDEFERR, the value of the undefined variable is returned as
# an empty string.

# is defined at the beginning of this file.  The surrounding 'W' and 'D'
