Subject: [9fans] p9p mk(1) syntax
Topicbox-Message-UUID: 7ae33996-ead8-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

in p9p mk, this works as expected:
foo =3D `{echo bar}

but the following does not -- rc(1) indicates syntax error:
foo =3D `{echo `{echo bar}}


strace indicates that mk(1) passes input to rc(1) with no closing brace=
s at=20
all.


i'm using MKSHELL =3D rc.

--=20
