Subject: Re: bin/117748: sh(1): Backslash quote fails in pattern for
 substring processing.
Date: Sun, 14 Mar 2010 14:20:11 +0100

 [pattern matching characters in ${v#pat}, ${v%pat} cannot be quoted]
 
 This is easy to fix if bin/57554 is fixed first. Currently double quotes
 continue into ${v#pat} like they do into ${v+word}, different from what
 the man page says. Once that is fixed, a well-directed EXP_CASE will do
 it.
