+# Just for fun: The code in Parse_IsVar allows for multiple appearances of
+# the ':sh' assignment operator modifier.  Let's see what happens ...
+#
+# Well, the end result is correct but the way until there is rather
+# adventurous.  This only works because the parser replaces each an every
+# whitespace character that is not nested with '\0' (see Parse_DoVar).
+# The variable name therefore ends before the first ':sh', and the last
+# ':sh' turns the assignment operator into the shell command evaluation.
+# Parse_DoVar completely trusts Parse_IsVar to properly verify the syntax.
+#
+# The ':sh' is the only word that may occur between the variable name and
+# the assignment operator.  All other words would lead to a parse error
+# since the left-hand side of an assignment must be exactly one word.
