Re: [PATCH] Support the mksh's ${|func;} substitution

Ok, thanks for the clarification. I've gathered the information in a
markdown document:

https://github.com/psprint/zsh/blob/master/x-flag.md

It seems fairly complete, now only someone who knows how to evaluate
code would have to implement it or provide hints, as my tries with
using bin_eval (the eval function that's behind it is declared static)
didn't result in a working ${|...;} substitution.
