 # Tests for the :tA variable modifier, which returns the absolute path for
 # each of the words in the variable value.
 
 # TODO: Implementation
 
+# Since 2016-06-03, it is possible to trick the :tA modifier into resolving
+# completely unrelated absolute paths by defining a global variable that has
+# the same name as the path that is to be resolved.  There are a few
+# restrictions though: The "redirected" path must start with a slash, and it
+# must exist. (See ModifyWord_Realpath).
+#
+# XXX: This is probably not intended.  It is caused by cached_realpath using
+# a GNode for keeping the cache, instead of a simple HashTable.
