Re: [9front] man rc patch

[cinap_lenrek@felloff.net]

but thats not what the patch is doing :-)

 +               if(star && 1<=n && n<=count(star)){
 +                       while(--n) star = star->next;
 +                       a = newword(star->word, a);
 +               }

this means for $"n where n is out of range, it would still
yield a null list.

also, i do not like how Xqdol() duplicates the logic.
it really should be two separate instructions. Xdol
doing the dereference of the variable, handling the special
star variables... and another instruction Xqote or something
that flattens it out to a single string where () becomes
the empty string.
