cc-test.sh: add t_behave_quote_a_cmd_escapes() (Andrew Gee)

[s-mailx.git] / accmacvar.c

/*@ S-nail - a mail user agent derived from Berkeley Mail.
 *@ Account, macro and variable handling.
 *@ HOWTO add a new non-dynamic boolean or value option:
 *@ - add an entry to nail.h:enum okeys
 *@ - run make-okey-map.pl
 *@ - update the manual!
 *@ TODO . Improve support for chains so that we can apply the property checks
 *@ TODO   of the base variable to -HOST and -USER@HOST variants!  Add some!!
 *@ TODO   Now with `local' modifier we need to be able to catch that, as well
 *@ TODO   as linked environment variables: both of which are not catched and
 *@ TODO   can be shadowed, which is documented for `set' - change on change!!
 *@ TODO . `localopts' should act like an automatic permanent `scope' command
 *@ TODO    modifier!  We need an OnScopeLeaveEvent, then.
 *@ TODO   Also see the a_GO_SPLICE comment in go.c.
 *@ TODO . Optimize: with the dynamic hashmaps, and the object based approach
 *@ TODO   it should become possible to strip down the implementation again.
 *@ TODO   E.g., FREEZE is much too complicated: use an overlay object ptr,
 *@ TODO   UNLIKELY() it, and add a OnProgramStartupCompletedEvent to
 *@ TODO   incorporate what it tracks, then drop it.  Etc.
 *@ TODO   Global -> Scope -> Local, all "overlay" objects.
