Subject: Aliasing and function
Date: Sun, 12 Aug 2001 20:03:07 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1010812200307.ZM12861@candle.brasslantern.com> (raw)
I mentioned this once before, on a tangentially related thread, but nobody
responded.
The FAQ section 2.3 says (and has for a long time):
Luckily, it is not possible to define `function' as an alias.
I don't know at exactly what point that statement became false, but:
zagzig% alias function=for
zagzig% set a b c
zagzig% function x { echo $x }
a
b
c
zagzig%
Either the code or the FAQ needs fixing. I lean slightly to the code.
