Just for the record, the right output is
\$bar
because $bar wasn't set initially :)

Fedor :
Not that I'm trying to scare you, but...
what would this do then?:
#set $foo="\$bar"
#set $bar="$foo"
Well, I can't try it here, but I would guess :
after the first set, $foo -> interpolated "\$bar" which is "$bar"� (the literal)
after the second #set, $bar� -> interpolated "$foo" -> "$bar" (the literal)
so if you then output $bar, you would get '$bar' in the output (minus the single quotes)
Try it... let us know.� All the code is in CVS.� Might have made the nightly tarball, might not.� Can't recall.
