Re: New rc snapshot, includes "the equals hack"

 Having read the messages to date and thought about the issue, I think
that I agree with this. I prefer an rc where the rule I have to remember
is 'quote ='s or get syntax errors', not '= will gobble the arguments
on either side of it on a command line into one word' (or whatever the
exact rule is). And slipups are far more evident and less mysterious
with the first rule: I get a syntax error, which I can easily fix.
