;;; Commentary:

;; These are the possible variable interpolation syntaxes.  Also keep
;; in mind that if an argument looks like a number, it will be
;; converted to a number.  This is not significant when invoking
;; external commands, but it's important when calling Lisp functions.
;;
;;   $VARIABLE
;;
;; Interval the value of an environment variable, or a Lisp variable
;;
;;   $ALSO-VAR
;;
;; "-" is a valid part of a variable name.
;;
;;   $<MYVAR>-TOO
;;
;; Only "MYVAR" is part of the variable name in this case.
;;
;;   $#VARIABLE
;;
;; Returns the length of the value of VARIABLE.  This could also be
;; done using the `length' Lisp function.
;;
;;   $(lisp)
;;
;; Returns result of lisp evaluation.  Note: Used alone like this, it
;; is identical to just saying (lisp); but with the variable expansion
;; form, the result may be interpolated a larger string, such as
;; '$(lisp)/other'.
;;
;;   ${command}
;;
;; Returns the value of an eshell subcommand.  See the note above
;; regarding Lisp evaluations.
;;
;;   $ANYVAR[10]
;;
;; Return the 10th element of ANYVAR.  If ANYVAR's value is a string,
;; it will be split in order to make it a list.  The splitting will
;; occur at whitespace.
;;
;;   $ANYVAR[: 10]
;;
;; As above, except that splitting occurs at the colon now.
;;
;;   $ANYVAR[: 10 20]
;;
;; As above, but instead of returning just a string, it now returns a
;; list of two strings.  If the result is being interpolated into a
;; larger string, this list will be flattened into one big string,
;; with each element separated by a space.
;;
;;   $ANYVAR["\\\\" 10]
;;
;; Separate on backslash characters.  Actually, the first argument --
;; if it doesn't have the form of a number, or a plain variable name
;; -- can be any regular expression.  So to split on numbers, use
;; '$ANYVAR["[0-9]+" 10 20]'.
;;
;;   $ANYVAR[hello]
;;
;; Calls `assoc' on ANYVAR with 'hello', expecting it to be an alist.
;;
;;   $#ANYVAR[hello]
;;
;; Returns the length of the cdr of the element of ANYVAR who car is
;; equal to "hello".
;;
;; There are also a few special variables defined by Eshell.  '$$' is
;; the value of the last command (t or nil, in the case of an external
;; command).  This makes it possible to chain results:
;;
;;   /tmp $ echo /var/spool/mail/johnw
;;   /var/spool/mail/johnw
;;   /tmp $ dirname $$
;;   /var/spool/mail/
;;   /tmp $ cd $$
;;   /var/spool/mail $
;;
;; '$_' refers to the last argument of the last command.  And $?
;; contains the exit code of the last command (0 or 1 for Lisp
;; functions, based on successful completion).

  "This list provides aliasing for variable references.
It is very similar in concept to what `eshell-user-aliases-list' does
for commands.  Each member of this defines defines the name of a
command, and the Lisp value to return for that variable if it is
accessed via the syntax '$NAME'.

If the value is a function, that function will be called with two
arguments: the list of the indices that was used in the reference, and
whether the user is requesting the length of the ultimate element.
For example, a reference of '$NAME[10][20]' would result in the
function for alias `NAME' being called (assuming it were aliased to a
function), and the arguments passed to this function would be the list
'(10 20)', and nil."

  "Apply to VALUE all of the given INDICES, returning the sub-result.
The format of INDICES is:

  ((INT-OR-NAME-OR-OTHER INT-OR-NAME INT-OR-NAME ...)
   ...)

Each member of INDICES represents a level of nesting.  If the first
member of a sublist is not an integer or name, and the value it's
reference is a string, that will be used as the regexp with which is
to divide the string into sub-parts.  The default is whitespace.
Otherwise, each INT-OR-NAME refers to an element of the list value.
Integers imply a direct index, and names, an associate lookup using
`assoc'.

For example, to retrieve the second element of a user's record in
'/etc/passwd', the variable reference would look like:

  ${egrep johnw /etc/passwd}[: 2]"
