But I'm still wondering why not change the } statements after "${=spec}" in man page. Or I'm misunderstanding the } original statements which has been stating this "splitting before } assignment" behavior is only related to "(A)" flag? You mean this? Note that splitting is applied to WORD in the assignment forms of SPEC _before_ the assignment to NAME is performed. This affects the result of array assignments with the A flag. I must not be understanding what else you think it should say. Is it just that it isn't "... the A flag, among other things"?
