Subject: bug#7563: one more detail
Date: Sun, 5 Dec 2010 19:37:16 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTi=TKsLKVsp4bhzbKbMfu-mWM9KwqGGRg6S9ATLA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <m27hfn52q7.wl%dave@boostpro.com>

split-string-and-unquote and combine-and-quote-strings are introduced
in §37.2 `Shell Arguments', which seems wrong.  The introductory text
is misleading:

   The following two functions are useful for creating shell commands
from individual argument strings, and taking shell command lines apart
into individual arguments.
