Re: [doc] "sh_word_split nothing to do with word splitting"?

[Stephane Chazelas <stephane.chazelas@gmail.com>]

So, how about this new take at it? Renders (in info) as:

SH_WORD_SPLIT (-y) <K> <S>
     Causes $IFS field splitting to be performed on unquoted parameter
     expansions in addition to command substitutions.  Note that
     contrary to POSIX shells, field splitting is still not performed on
     unquoted arithmetic expansions.  Like in other Bourne-like shells,
     field splitting is only performed in contexts where several words
     may be expected, such as in arguments to simple commands or inline
     functions, array assignments and for loop word lists.  If the
     MULTIOS option is enabled, it is also performed in the targets of
     file redirections (except for the read+write ones).  (See *note
     Parameter Expansion:: and *note Redirection::).
