Oh, and the algorithm should be something like:

       1. While argument X  contains any "${}" expressions {
       2. Y : = Expansion of leftmost innermost "${ }" expressions in X
       3. Call Step 1 with (Y) as the argument
       4. Replace in X the leftmost innermost "${}" expression with the result 
of the call. }
       5. Return X

Do I have that right?
