New Revision: 198454
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/198454

Log:
  sh: Exempt $@ and $* from set -u
  
  This seems more useful and will likely be in the next POSIX standard.
  
  Also document more precisely in the man page what set -u does (note that
  $@, $* and $! are the only special parameters that can ever be unset, all
  the others are always set, although they may be empty).

  head/tools/regression/bin/sh/expansion/set-u2.0   (contents, props changed)
