Since expanding a prompt string that contains a funsub will modify the value of $_, would it make sense to restore the value of $_ after the expansion is complete, as we do when executing PROMPT_COMMAND?
If we're worried about this as a side effect, why not preserve $_ around calls to function_substitute()? Or are the prompt string expansions the only reasonable use case? -- ``The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.'' - Chaucer ``Ars longa, vita brevis'' - Hippocrates Chet Ramey, UTech, CWRU c...@case.edu http://tiswww.cwru.edu/~chet/
