Posix.2 says that any
command line that does not contain a command to be executed after
expansion should return the status of any command substitution
performed while expanding the command, or zero if no command
subsitution occurs.
Please cite the *exact* text from POSIX.2 which specifies that. When
I looked, the wording was quite unclear, but seemed to imply the
NetBSD behaviour.
