yes, that's true, too, so I don't think the above line is doing what the
author hopes it's doing. On OpenBSD, everything inside the quotes evals
to just "", even though I think they intend for there to be more stuff
in there.
But the just introduced and fixed bug was that grep would fail to match
empty expressions. Fix for that has been committed.
