} ...but wouldn't it be better to say `eval $foo' in the example below?
}
} % eval $foo& jobs
} [1] 884
} [1] + running eval sleep 10
Hmm. No, actually, I prefer it the way it is above. If I change the
value of foo, seeing `eval $foo' doesn't tell me anything at all about
what's actually running.
In fact, I'd prefer it if the "eval" got stripped off so all that zsh
prints is `sleep 10'. After all, "eval" is not a job; the thing that
was being eval'd is the job.
