The standard defines it as two versions of the same thing.
Furthermore, for many application contexts (like quoting
or nesting) explanations for both variants are explicitly
listed without any preference it seems.
I found its obsolescence told only in the Kornshell book.
In the standards document I haven't found a single note
about it.
The advantages of the newer form are so apparent that I
wonder why one would stick to the older version, though
(as far as new shell code is concerned).
