Message-ID: <9304162243.AA26231@netapp.netapp.com> (raw)
"if" in the first position denotes the if keyword. In any other
position it is passed on as an argument.
this is true in sh as well:
$ echo fi
fi
$ fi echo
syntax error: `fi' unexpected
$
although the rules for sh parsing are probably harder to deduce..
