---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0004298) kre (reporter) - 2019-03-11 03:23 http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1234#c4298 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- In note 4296 I wrote Quoting the parameter expansion cannot work - that always disables pathname expansion That is loose (ok, incorrect) wording, parameter expansion isn't disabled by quoting, rather it is just ineffective - as all of the quoted characters are literals, so if the whole word is quoted (as in ls "${var}") pathname expansion might as well be disabled, as only one pathname can possibly result - that which is the exact contents of $var (with everything treated literally). Still this is not really "disabling" pathname expansion, and I should have been more precise in my wording. This glitch has no effect on the substance of the note however.
