Summary |
0001711: Reword 'as described above' |
|
Description |
The specification of macro definitions contains the phrase 'as described above' several times. The wording is not perfectly clear about whether 'as described above' really only means 'above' or whether it actually means 'as described anywhere in this section'.
For example, a strict word-by-word interpretation of line 104934 would mean that in the macro definition
${NAME:%a=%b}=value
the '%' would not be interpreted as pattern matching placeholder, as the pattern matching is defined further below, starting in line 104943. |
|
Desired Action |
If intended, reword 'as described above' to 'as described in this section'. |
