| Summary | 0001089: "the tilde expansion, parameter expansion, command substitution, arithmetic expansion, and quote removal" is too wordy | ||||
| Description | "the tilde expansion, parameter expansion, command substitution, arithmetic expansion, and quote removal" is simply "WORD expansion" . It matters to clarify this way, not just so as to not confuse the reader, but also because of the issues in my next report concerning WORD expansions. | ||||
| Desired Action | replace "the tilde expansion, parameter expansion, command substitution, arithmetic expansion, and quote removal" with "WORD expansion" | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

The proposed change is incorrect because it would add field splitting to the expansions. (Actually it would become unclear which expansions are applied, because 2.6 says "Not all expansions are performed on every word, as explained in the following sections", and this is the text that explains which of the expansions are performed on this particular word.) If the current text is felt to be too wordy, it could be changed to: ... resulting from applying all word expansions (see Section 2.6) except field splitting to the given word. |

I see. Thank you. How do I close this report (as bogus)? |
