Subject: bug#15372: eshell gives environment variables high precedence
Date: Fri, 13 Sep 2013 13:40:30 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <besix8y60h.fsf@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)

Package: emacs
Version: 24.3

I don't use eshell, so maybe this is how it is supposed to work, but
from the point of view of normal shells, this seems wrong:

foo=FOOBAR emacs -Q -f eshell
eshell> for foo in 5 { echo $foo }
        -> FOOBAR

Cf:

bash> export foo=FOOBAR
bash> for foo in 5; do echo $foo; done
      -> 5
