Pity that the POSIX man pages say none of this (but I don't know that they even mention 2008). Thanks for the explanation. A one-line explanation such as: # (syntactically ambiguous in some cases; deprecated by POSIX) would be nice to see in maint.mk, given that the audience for the checks there is likely to be quite pedantic in the first place. -- http://rrt.sc3d.org
