Subject: [PATCH] Add tests for semicolon in the middle of a sublist not terminating it.
Date: Wed, 24 Oct 2018 15:17:35 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181024151735.31000-1-danielsh@tarpaulin.shahaf.local2> (raw)

---
These syntaxes behave this way because \n is valid after BAR / DAMPER / etc,
and semicolon is equivalent to \n.

I'm not sure if the meaning of these should be changed so ; terminates the
sublist, or changed to be considered a syntax error, or kept this way.  (I'm
going to commit this anyway so we have a baseline to work from.)  Matthew
points out that if this behaviour is to be kept, the definition of "sublist" in
zshmisc(1) should be amended to clarify that «: && ; pwd» considers 'pwd' part
of the first (and only) sublist, whereas currently it implies that the
semicolon terminates the sublist even in that position.

Cheers,

Daniel
