One more thought on this issue ... it might also be worth specifying what
happens when a '$' is followed by a defined character (one which would
cause
an expansion normally) when evaluated in a context where that expansion is
not performed.

So, for example, if a shell does not do command substitution when
expanding
PS1 (which is acceptable with the proposed resolution of issue 1006 I
believe)
then how is the setting
      PS1='$(date) ... '
to be interpreted?   Note that the new text from 1006 says that whether or
not the command expansion happens is unspecified, it does not say anything
about the effect on the prompt if the command expansion does not happen.

If there are other contexts in which only some of the word expansions take
place, the same issue would arise.
